Former Kano State Governor and leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, has pledged to drastically reduce the All Progressives Congress’ (APC) votes in Kano State during the 2027 elections.
Speaking at a meeting in his Kano residence with stakeholders from Tsanyawa Local Government Area, Kwankwaso engaged with former councillors and senior special advisers who served under his administration.
He highlighted the impressive performance of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the 2023 elections, emphasising the dedication of his team in sidelining the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which secured only 15,000 votes in the state.
Despite being a new political party with a late campaign start, the NNPP managed to gain significant ground in Kano.
Kwankwaso declared, “Now, it’s our turn to diminish APC’s influence. We will work tirelessly to ensure their votes are reduced to less than 15,000 in Kano come 2027.”
The former governor underscored the importance of grassroots mobilisation and continuous efforts to solidify the NNPP’s presence in Kano and other regions.
He urged his supporters to remain dedicated and work diligently to achieve results that would secure the party’s future electoral victories.
Kwankwaso’s remarks reflect his confidence in the NNPP’s potential to become a dominant political force in Kano, challenging the APC’s stronghold in the state.
