Governor Yusuf Commends Peaceful Election
Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has described the outcome of the Dawakin Kudu/Warawa Federal Constituency by-election as a positive sign for the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a statement issued on Sunday by his spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, the governor said the large voter turnout and peaceful conduct of the election demonstrated that residents still support the APC and its policies.
“Election Reflected The True Wishes Of Voters”
Governor Yusuf commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for conducting a free, fair, and credible election, noting that the process reflected the true wishes of the electorate.
He also praised security agencies for maintaining peace throughout the exercise, adding that the conduct and outcome of the poll had strengthened public trust in Nigeria’s democratic process.
APC’s Growing Strength In Kano
Yusuf congratulated the APC candidate on the victory and urged him to deliver effective representation for the people of the constituency.
He said the result demonstrated that the APC remains a strong political force in Kano State and is well-positioned for future electoral success.
The governor also took a swipe at the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) for failing to present a candidate in the by-election, describing it as “a mushroom political movement with no visible grassroots structure.”
Call For Continued Development
Governor Yusuf maintained that the by-election exposed the weakness of opposition groups in the state and highlighted the growing acceptance of the APC among Kano residents.
He assured citizens that his administration would continue to implement projects and programmes aimed at improving the lives of the people.
The governor also congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and APC National Chairman, Prof. Nantawe Yilwatda, on what he described as the party’s success in recent by-elections across the country.
