Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf announced yesterday that his administration is fully committed to securing a victory for President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general election.

He made the statement during an interactive session with elected and appointed officials at the Coronation Hall in Government House, Kano.

According to a statement from his spokesperson Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, the governor said Kano would mobilise overwhelming support for Tinubu's re‑election bid.

“Kano State is fully committed to ensuring victory for the APC at all levels in the 2027 general election. We will lead the country in delivering overwhelming votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu because we believe in the leadership and vision of this administration,” Yusuf said.

The governor ordered all political appointees who had not yet registered as APC members to do so immediately, stating that every government official must align with the ruling party and help strengthen its structures throughout the state.

“If you are serving in this administration and you have not registered as a member of the APC, you should do so immediately. Every elected and appointed official must actively participate in building and strengthening the party ahead of the 2027 elections,” he said.

He reiterated his administration's commitment to securing APC victories in the presidential, governorship, National Assembly, State Assembly, and local government elections.

“As a government, we remain committed to ensuring that the APC records victory at every level. Our responsibility goes beyond governance; we must also consolidate the party’s strength at the grassroots,” he added.

To encourage political office holders, the governor authorized the allocation of land plots to over 300 aides, including Senior Special Assistants, Special Assistants, Senior Special Reporters, Special Reporters, and Personal Assistants.

He also approved a payment of N100,000 to each beneficiary.

At the meeting, Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly Ismail Falgore said the APC had every reason to showcase President Tinubu's achievements to the state's residents.

“We owe nobody an apology for marketing the achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The people deserve to know what the President is doing, just as they can see the impact of constituency projects being executed with the support of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf,” Falgore said.
