He warned all other political parties that the NNPP is the party to beat in future election.
He thanked Governor Abba Yusuf for his peaceful and progressive ruling in Kano state, saying the success of the party in the LGs election is a score card of Abba’s governance.
According to the statement, “I congratulated my brother, the Kano state governor, Alhaji Abba Yusuf, the national leader of our party, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, the entire NNPP’s family on the success of our great party in the last Saturday local governments election.

It shows that the people of Kano appreciate Gov Abba Yusuf’s administration. Secondly, it is a sign that our party, the NNPP is battle ready for future elections especially the 2027 general election.
“Let me use the opportunity to warn the ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC) that its tenure will expire in 2027. Nigerians should see the performances of the NNPP in Kano and the steady progress of the party across the country as an opportunity to enjoy a progressive government by voting the party in 2027.
“NNPP is the answer to APC’s failure in the last two years. Our party if voted into power in 2027 will rescue Nigerians from the APC’s misrule”.
