NNPP Confident of Winning 2027 Kano Governorship Election Amidst Speculation Over Governor's Defection
The NNPP party is confident in winning the 2027 Kano state governorship election, regardless of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf's potential defection to another party. Ladipo Johnson, a chieftain of NNPP, emphasized the party's strong grassroots structure in Kano and expressed optimism in repeating their success in the next election cycle.
Governor Yusuf's recent meeting with President Tinubu fueled rumors of defection, but his spokesperson, Sunusi Batur, dismissed such claims as pure speculation. Yusuf had won the 2023 Kano governorship election on the NNPP platform, defeating APC candidates.
