Kano will be the most hotly contested state as far as the presidential election is concerned in 2027. Kwakwanso was the star man of Kano in 2023. Sadly for him, he has lost a huge ground to the APC. The fact that he won’t even be at the top of any ballot in 2027 makes the state more open and competitive.

With Ganduje, Abba Yusuf, Barau Jibrin and now Shekarau all on Tinubu’s side, we may see the biggest upset in Kano next year.

E go shock you say Kwankwaso is actually in APC in spirit but ADC by card.

So you mean all the 180k votes Atiku got was strictly from Shekarau's shura and Atiku has no appeal of his own in Kano.
Go and verify broz. Shekarau ran Atiku street in Kano. He's poised to do same to APC this time around. 180k votes for Atiku plus Kwankwaso's 1.2m votes. All for ADC

Is it not your plan for APC to lose next election? Why then are you so concerned about the street running, or are you scared ?

Each to his own. The votes will go in fractions. I am no Tinubu fan but it is clear to one not deluded that more fractions of the votes pooled together will go to Tinubu. Kwaks will take his own and add to Atiku's whose fraction is likely to be a lot less than that of Ganduje, Abba Yusuf, Barau Jibrin and now Shekarau put to together. The die is cast! Kwaks just lost out again. He overrated himself and will be carrion for Atiku who just stated on Arise TV how not valuable electorally Kwaks is in the North generally speaking!

Kano State voters have minds of their own though and largely do not act like lemmings. They vote for whoever they think will better their lots.

If the cost of living can drop further before elections (with the widespread use of CNG fuel and deployment of CNG infrastructure in all the regions of Nigeria in order to crash the cost of transportation and food), then, the man on the street level will gladly vote for the APC at the Federal and State government levels.

They have leaders that guide them and they are the most progressive voters in the country. If they had revenue of their own like Lagos they would have been the best state in the country

The Shekarau led Kano PDP delivered over 180k votes to Atiku in 2023. I’m not sure Peter Obi got up to 10k votes in the state. So, yes, we will happily welcome whatever number of votes Shekarau can add to APC in Kano. No vote is a waste. The more the merrier. Thanks.

Y'all can't seem to be able to breathe without mentioning your regular nightmare, Peter Obi. Even bad-intentioned publicity is good publicity.

@lawani

Absolutely well said.

They have the population to do what you stated so they have to upskill their youths in the STEM fields as well. Agribusiness in Kano State will do well if more hybrid seedlings and tractors are used alongside the massive irrigation projects they have for all-year farming. Fortunately they have been getting funds from Islamic Banking institutions (with interest-free banking) to carry out a lot of projects for years now.

The current issue with the indigenous Hausa States of the North West though is that there's a sharp rise in Hausa nationalism to get the Fula political domination out of the way due to foreign Fula militia bandits attacks on Hausaland.

Ganduje, Kwankwaso, etc, are both of the minority Fulas (paternally and maternally) with Kwankwaso's late father being the "Sarkin Fulani of Kwankwaso village."

Former Governor Ibrahim Shekarau is originally of Borno State parentage from the "Bura ethnic group" (just like General Buratai who is also of the Bura ethnic group of Borno State) who migrated to Kano State and settled there.

Kano State is a place where folks who are originally NOT Hausas have been Governors though. Former Governor of Kano, Alhaji Bakinzuwo was of Nupe descent, the Yakasai family are originally of Jukun descent in Taraba, Sani Abacha is originally a Kanuri from Borno, the Forbes-listed USD billionaire Abdulsamad Isiaku-Rabiu is originally of Kanuri in Borno State descent BUT it was his grandfather (an Islamic scholar who migrated to Kano for further Quaranic studies), and his biological son (the famous multimillionaire businessman Alhaji Isiaku Rabiu was born there). Aliko Dangote himself is of Agalawa descent especially on his maternal side via the Dantata family (Agalawas are the Tuareg long-distance merchants of the 1700s and 1800s) from Niger Republic.

Let the people themselves say they are not Hausa. No Kanawa ought to be saying they are not Hausa including the Fulani. It is just like a Yoruba man saying he is not Yoruba because his great great great grandfather came from Mali or Senegal. If they have no home but Kano then they are Hausa.

I know a lot about the old and (new Kano States) which I personally have had contact with right from the 1970s (with a lot of friends of mine made from that same state back in Nigeria who are now captains of industry and top political power brokers today).

Second, that's why I used the term "descent." Agalawa (Tuareg descent), Kanuri descent, Nupe descent, Jukun descent, Fulani descent via Futa Toro in Senegal and Mauritania etc. Every family in Kano knows the ORIGINAL homelands they came from and this is an open secret among "Kanawas."

There are millions of indigenous Hausa folks and they do NOT consider these settlers of other ethnic origins as part of them and there are several videos online made and posted by Hausawas dissociating themselves from the Fulas and condemning the unintelligent term "Hausa-Fulani" which was FIRST used back in the late 1950s by a British media outfit. Even pure Fulas have rejected that annoying term "Hausa-Fulani." You are either Hausa or Fulani. These settlers too do NOT see themselves as ethnically Hausas. Just because they can speak Hausa language doesn't mean they are Hausa.

Last BUT NOT least, based on your example, I do NOT consider anyone who claims to be Yoruba and whose direct ancestry goes back to Senegal or Mali to be a Yoruba. They know their paternal lineages and should claim that because Nigerian and Yoruba cultures are strongly patriarchal (with the exception of the Ijaws who are matriarchal further affirming their largely Ghananian migratory roots as boat people) as claimed by Senator Magnus Abbey whose Ogoni ethnic people are partly of mixed Ghananian and Ibibio roots as claimed by the paramount Ogoni traditional ruler. Period.

In our town of Ere Ijesa, the first settler was Nupe, the second is Oyo then others from Igbajo, Ilare, Ijero and etc and all are now Ijesa. In Ilesa itself there are prominent families with title originally from different places. That is how communities are formed all over the world. There is no city you will go to that is not like that and the indigenes of such cities can not be claiming to be of different ethnic origins. However someone that still have family in another place can go and claim that other place. The town Fulani have become essentially Hausa and it is only the cattle type that is still different. Even if the Fulani elite say they are not Hausa, can they say Kano is not Hausa land? To avoid the confusion is why they call themselves Hausa Fulani. If no jihad, no indigene of Kano will be identifying as non Hausa and despite the jihad, it is still not right to refer to Kano as multiethnic but every situation is peculiar though
