Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has said the endorsement of Senator Abdurrahman Kawu Sumaila by stakeholders in Kano South Senatorial District is a clear signal that the All Progressives Congress will record a sweeping victory across the zone and the state in 2027.
The governor made the remark on Monday at a grand endorsement gathering in Rano Town Stadium, where stakeholders formally declared Senator Kawu Sumaila as the sole APC flag bearer for Kano South. Officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission attended the event.
In a statement signed by his spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, Governor Yusuf said the endorsement came shortly after the successful reconciliation between Senator Kawu Sumaila and Hon. Alhassan Rurum, describing it as a boost for party unity.
He assured the people of Kano South that the region would continue to benefit from large-scale development projects aimed at improving livelihoods.
“The present administration has designed gigantic programmes for the teeming youth of the state ahead of 2027 to ensure their ambitions are fully realised,” Yusuf stated.
To expand opportunities in the area, the governor announced the approval for the conversion of the Rano Rural and Community Development Institute into a Federal Polytechnic of Technology. He also disclosed plans to upgrade Rano General Hospital to a Federal Medical Centre.
According to him, the two institutions will accelerate growth and development in the region. He added that the existing infrastructure of the Rano Rural and Community Development Centre would be relocated to Takai Constituency to broaden access to education.
Governor Yusuf commended the growing acceptance of the “Kano First” slogan across the state’s 44 local government areas, saying his administration’s goal is to restore Kano’s lost values and strengthen unity among the people.
He praised party stakeholders and supporters in Kano South for ensuring a peaceful endorsement process and pledged his full support to secure victory for the APC and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
Speaking at the event, Senator Kawu Sumaila, Hon. Alhassan Rurum, and Hon. Alhassan Doguwa pledged total loyalty and support to Governor Yusuf. They assured him that Kano South would deliver victory for him, President Tinubu, and all APC candidates in the next elections.
Other dignitaries present included the representative of the APC National Chairman, Barrister Garba Datti Muhammad; the Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory, Dr. Mariya Mahmoud Bunkure; and the Chairperson of Kano State ALGON, Hajiya Sa’adatu Salisu Yushau.
The gathering marked one of the biggest political mobilisations in Kano South ahead of the 2027 polls, with party leaders describing it as a turning point for APC’s consolidation in the zone.
