Kano By-Election Outcome Reflects APC’s Growing Strength Ahead of 2027 — Yusuf
Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State has described the outcome of the Dawakin Kudu/Warawa Federal Constituency by-election as a strong indication of the All Progressives Congress’ (APC) readiness for the 2027 general elections. Speaking through his spokesperson, Sunusi Dawakin-Tofa, the governor said the turnout recorded during the poll and the peaceful conduct of voters demonstrated continued public support for the APC and its programmes. Yusuf noted that the by-election was conducted in a transparent and credible manner, allowing residents to freely express their democratic choice at the ballot box. He commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the successful organisation of the exercise and praised security agencies for maintaining peace and order throughout the voting process. The governor also congratulated the APC candidate on securing victory, urging him to justify the confidence reposed in him by constituents through quality representation and responsive leadership. According to Yusuf, the result further reinforces the APC’s position as a major political force in Kano State and highlights the party’s growing momentum ahead of future electoral contests. He argued that the outcome reflected the confidence many residents continue to place in the party’s policies and leadership.
The governor also took a swipe at opposition parties, particularly the New Democratic Congress (NDC), noting that its failure to field a candidate in the by-election underscored what he described as a lack of grassroots presence within the state. Yusuf maintained that his administration would remain focused on implementing people-centred projects and programmes aimed at improving the welfare of Kano residents. He further extended congratulations to President Bola Tinubu and APC National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, following the party’s recent successes in by-elections across different parts of the country. The governor expressed confidence that the APC would continue to strengthen its support base as preparations gradually begin for the 2027 general elections.
