Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf has stated that he is not concerned about winning reelection in 2027.
If Allah wills it, Yusuf stated he will serve a second term as governor.
Speaking in Kano, he cautioned against making provocative remarks before the general elections in 2027.
As said by 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.”
Yusuf, however, emphasized that his work speaks for him and pledged to fight against pressure on his mandate.
“My performance will speak for me, not political pressure,” he said.
