2027: I’m destined to be Kano gov, not worried about re-election – Yusuf

Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State has said he is not worried about being re-elected in 2027.

Yusuf said he would serve a second term as governor if it’s the will of Allah.

He spoke in Kano, where he warned against making inciting statements ahead of the 2027 general elections.

According to Yusuf: “What I am worried about is not re-election. I am more concerned about delivering the dividends of democracy on the mandate given to me in this first tenure.

“I want the good people of Kano to judge me by my performance at the end of this tenure.

“We know those people, who were massively rejected in both 2019 and 2023. We won against them at a time when we had no political office— not even a councillorship seat. But Allah made it possible for us to win with a landslide victory.

“I am destined to be a Governor. It is my total belief and submission to the will of Allah that if He so wills, I will serve a second term. If not, I won’t. So why should I bother myself.”

However, Yusuf vowed to resist pressure on his mandate, stressing that his work speak for him.

“My performance will speak for me, not political pressure,” he said.
