The battle for the 2027 elections appears to be heating up, with a top chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdulmumin Jibrin, issuing a strong warning to opposition parties ahead of the polls.
Jibrin, who represents Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, declared that the APC would not surrender any elective position in Kano State to its political rivals.

«“I swear to God, in Kano, come 2027 general elections, we are not going to surrender a single seat for them. I repeat, APC will not surrender a single seat for opposition parties.”»
He added:
«“They will know our worth, and I am assuring that this coming election we will teach them the lesson of their lives.”»

He pointed to the involvement of prominent APC figures, including President Bola Tinubu, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, Deputy Governor Murtala Sule Garo, former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, Deputy Senate President Barau I. Jibrin, former Governor Ibrahim Shekarau, Senator Kawu Sumaila and Senator Rufai Hanga.
