2027: Ganduje, others call for unity in Kano APC

National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, with other chieftains of the party, have called on party members in Kano State to form a formidable force and strategises towards reclaiming power from the incumbent New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP)’s led administration.

Ganduje made the appeal during the 8th and 9th APC Members Kano State House of Assembly Forum Dinner held in honor of several former House leaders, including Rt. Hon. Kabiru Alhassan Rurum, Rt. Hon. Hamisu Ibrahim Chidari, and others, on Sunday night.

According to him, “Unity is the only way out for us; it’s the only option we have to achieve our goals. God has already intervened in our situation”.

He added; “The current government is distorting the state; we are just waiting for the right time. The next election will be as easy as shifting a hen from its eggs,”

However, speaking on his behalf at the occasion, the Kano APC Chairman, Prince Abdullahi Abbas, took a swipe at former Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, leader of the NNPP, suggesting his political strength is waning.

“I am surprised when Kwankwaso claims to have the people. If not for internal issues that caused divisions in our party, he wouldn’t have won in Kano.

He therefore disclosed; “This time around, he will realise that those who helped him are disappointed and regretting their decisions. We are done with Kwankwasiyya.”

When speaking at the occasion, the Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, Yusuf Abdullahi Ata, echoed the call for unity within the Kano APC.

He emphasised; “What remains for us is unity. Elections are not our problem; if they were to be held today, we have no cause for concern.

According to him; “The last election was close, but God did not grant us victory. We must pray and forge ahead together. The way Kano is being managed now is unacceptable, and no one is benefiting from the current leadership”.

He then appreciated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for prioritising Kano in his developmental agenda.

Ata added; “When the President allocated 250 housing units to states, Kano received 500 units. This demonstrates his commitment to our state,”

Also speaking, the Chairman of the Forum, Abdul’azeez Garba Gafasa, emphasised the importance of camaraderie among members, celebrating the honorees for their contributions to the party and their appointments at the federal level.

“Our forum remains united. We are our brothers’ keepers and continue to uplift one another. Our leaders are doing their best to foster unity within the party,” Gafasa concluded.
