Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has described opposition African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a party of jokers, which can never win election in Kano.
Governor Yusuf said this while addressing a large crowd of supporters at the Government House, Kano, shortly after returning from the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Convention in Abuja and the party’s Northwest Zonal Congress held in Kaduna.
The Governor expressed confidence of winning his reelection in his new party.
He pointed out that his administration is doing its best to deliver dividends of democracy.
He commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he described as efforts to improve the economy and provide infrastructure across the geopolitical zones.
The Governor also declared that the people of Kano would support Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
Governor Yusuf further described the APC as the dominant political platform capable of winning elections at all levels in the state and across the country.
He congratulated party members in the state over what he described as successful outings during the zonal congress and national convention.
The Governor pledged that his administration would continue to prioritise the delivery of dividends of democracy, particularly in infrastructure, healthcare, education, agriculture, and youth and women empowerment.
Earlier, Yusuf arrived at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport to a rousing reception by supporters, who lined major roads including Katsina Road, Emir’s Palace Road and Sabon Bakin Zuwo Road, chanting party slogans and cheering as his convoy passed.
The reception culminated at the Government House, where the governor addressed the crowd.
