    Kano Emirship Dispute: APC Warns NNPP Of Severe Consequences In 2027

    The All Progressives Congress APC has said the New Nigeria Peoples Party NNPP will suffer electoral defeat in 2017 due to its bias toward the Kano Emirate crisis.

    State Chairman of the APC, Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas in a statement Monday in Abuja said rather than the issue affecting the electoral chances of President Bola Tinubu, NNPP would instead suffer the consequences.

    Noting that the NNPP presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso lacks national appeal to be Nigeria’s president, APC said it is now more united, popular and will deliver triple of what it got in the last presidential election in Kano state due to failures of the current administration in the state.

    The APC chieftain said contrary to a media report credited to NNPP Kano state Chairman, Hashimu Dungurawa, it is the state ruling party and its national leader, Kwankwaso who will suffer the consequences of the ongoing Emirship tussle negatively.

    The Kano NNPP Chairman had said the lingering Emirship tussle may negatively work against President Bola Tinubu’s second-term ambition in 2027,

    Abbas said the claim by the NNPP state chairman, Dungurawa was an indication of the party’s frustration in the state and the nation’s political scene.

    The APC state chairman said the crisis of confidence rocking the factionalized opposition NNPP and its embattled leader, Kwankwaso, is embarrassingly exposing its dismal failures, even as it is boasting of clinching the nation’s presidency comes 2027.

    He said Kwankwaso’s presidential debut in 2023 was deliberately intended to test his national outlook, remain relevant in the scheme of things, manipulate the way for his son-in-law to have his way and also to reclaim Kano from the ruling APC.

    “Kwankwaso got 1,454,649 total votes, representing only 6.23 per cent, and most of them from Kano,” he said. “In fact, media post-election analysis showed that Kwankwaso did not get up to 100,000 votes elsewhere aside from Kano.

    Abbas pointed out that Kwankwaso got 1.2 million or 19 per cent of the total votes in the northwest, his geo-political zone, and almost nothing in other regions of the country.

    “How come Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the opposition Labour Party from far away South East bested Kwankwaso in 13 northern states of Kaduna, Taraba, Borno, Gombe, Kebbi, Kogi, Kwara, Niger, Sokoto, Nasarawa, Plateau, Adamawa and Benue?” He queried.

    The APC Chairman said the people of Kano and leaders of thought in Northern Nigeria understood that the only interest of the federal government in the lingering Emirate crisis in Kano is to ensure that the rule of law prevails for peace and tranquillity in the largest populated state.

    The statement reminded the NNPP Chairman and his group how they were roundly beaten in 2019 and narrowly escaped in 2023 based on votes statistics despite having a presidential candidate from Kano state.

    Alhaji Abbas said: “Aside from the widely acknowledged poor performance of Governor Abba Yusuf-led NNPP government in Kano state in the last year, the party’s penchant for causing and sponsoring crisis in a peaceful state he inherited and some of his anti-people’s policies are factors voters will consider in the next election.

    “It is public knowledge that while other state governors were commissioning one project or the other to mark their one year in office, the NNPP Kano state government was busy distracting the good people of Kano from its obvious failures through the contentious Emirate law as a tactic to deflect attention from his inadequacies in office.”

    The statement added that in 2027, “the people of Kano state whose houses were demolished and rendered homeless will not forget in a hurry, the people of Kano state whose sources of economic survival and businesses were destroyed will not vote NNPP again, among many other categories of people already badly affected by the current misfit government in Kano state.”

    The APC chieftain stated that bringing up the issue of the 2027 presidential election by the Kano NNPP chairman in the face of an apparent failure of the government was not only diversionary but an indication of a plan to plunder the resources of the state in the name of candidature.

    The APC Chairman stated that the NNPP government in Kano state started on a wrong footing by going against the very essence of governance, which is the people, and always wants to distract the people from its apparent failure.

    “We are using this medium to assure our able and capable President, including the party’s national leadership that Kano state APC is now more united, popular and is daily attracting politically valuable people into our fold. We are ready and will deliver more than triple the votes we got in the 2023 presidential election,” the state Chairman pledged.
