Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has dismissed the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as politically irrelevant, insisting the party stands no chance of winning elections in Kano.
Speaking to a jubilant crowd at the Government House after returning from the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Convention in Abuja and its Northwest Zonal Congress in Kaduna, Yusuf expressed strong confidence in securing a second term under the APC banner.
He mocked opposition parties, grouping the ADC with the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), and described them as lacking the strength to make any real political impact.
According to the governor, Kano remains firmly in the grip of the APC, which he called the only party capable of winning elections both in the state and nationwide.
Yusuf pointed to his administration’s efforts in infrastructure, education, healthcare, agriculture, and social empowerment as proof that his government deserves another mandate. He assured supporters that even greater progress would follow if re-elected.
The governor also praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he described as steady economic improvements and ongoing infrastructure development, pledging Kano’s full support for Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.
His return to Kano was marked by a massive استقبال, with supporters lining major roads from the airport to the Government House, chanting and celebrating as his convoy passed.
