2027: Like PDP, APC will struggle to secure 15,000 votes in Kano – Kwankwaso
Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, said his party will work tirelessly to ensure that the ruling party, All Progressive Congress, APC, struggles to secure less than 15,000 votes in Kano State.
The former governor of the state said the party would stop at nothing to relegate the party like it rendered the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, struggling to secure only 15,000 votes in the 2023 general elections.
Kwankwaso made this known while receiving delegates of the NNPP from the Kano North senatorial district at his Miller Road Mansion in Kano.
He acknowledged the hard work of the party during the 2023 elections, which resulted in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) struggling to secure only 15,000 votes in Kano.
He noted that his party, the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), achieved this success despite being a new political platform with a late start to its campaign.
“Now, it’s time to diminish APC’s influence. We will work tirelessly to ensure their votes are reduced to less than 15,000 in Kano by 2027,” Kwankwaso stated.
The former governor emphasised the need for dedication and grassroots mobilisation to solidify the NNPP’s position as a dominant political force in Kano and beyond.
He encouraged his supporters to remain focused on delivering results that would secure the party’s success in future elections.
The leader of the delegates, Abdul Bichi, told journalists the visit was to renew their loyalty to the national leader of the NNPP, Kwankwaso, and to distance themselves from former Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Dr Abdullahi Baffa Bichi.
Abdul said they had parted ways with Dr Bichi since his removal from office.
“It is true we are supporters of the former SSG, and we are from the same constituency as Dr. Abdullahi Baffa Bichi. But we have decided to distance ourselves from him since he is no longer with the government.
“We have come here to see our national leader and founder of Kwankwaso in solidarity and to renew our total loyalty to him. We have come to say we are not leaving our party. We are not going with the SSG,” Abdul said.
Recall that the former SSG, Dr. Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, was alleged to be brain behind a group clamouring for Governor Abba Yusuf to take full control of the government against alleged interference by Kwankwaso, which led to his suspension by the party in the state and subsequently cost him to lose his position (SSG), although the government claimed it was based on health grounds.
