2027: We Must Remove Kano Governor At All Cost — APC Chairman

The chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State, Prince Abdullahi Abbas, has declared that his party will do everything possible to ensure Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) does not return to office in the 2027 general election.

In a short video clip circulating on Facebook, Abbas was seen addressing APC supporters at a gathering of the party’s social media crew in Gwale local government area of the State, where he made the remarks.

“No matter the consequences, Abba will not return to the governor’s seat. Whether Kano stays in peace or falls into chaos, it doesn’t matter, Abba’s tenure must end in Kano,” Abbas said emphatically to the cheering crowd.

During his speech, the APC chairman also took a swipe at the NNPP-led administration in the State, accusing it of incompetence and corruption. According to him, Governor Yusuf’s team lacked the capacity to govern the state effectively.

“They thought governing is easy, but ever since assuming office, all we have seen is gross incompetence, negligence, and mad looting. Everyone is in a hurry to steal,” Abbas alleged.

He also described the ongoing Kano Emirate crisis in the state as “a disgrace,” saying the creation of two rival emirs was a blemish on the state’s history.

“This government has destroyed our emirate system. A historic city like Kano is now witnessing two emirs — this is a disgrace,” he said.

The State APC chairman Abbas, known for his fiery and bold statements, has remained one of the most vocal critics of the Governor Abba Yusuf administration since the NNPP took over power in 2023.
