This is a shallow projection. Abba won against an incumbent APC in 2023 with a rather new party. How is it that you think he will lose to APC now that he is already a governor, something he was able to do when he was not even a governor? Do you know the amount of popularity it takes to unseat a sitting party in this country? Abba's second term was never in doubt. That's why his decision to betray Kwankwaso at this point is simply baffling.

success1smyn:
You don’t seem to understand the politics behind all this. Both Abba and Kwankwaso are trying to realign ahead of 2027, and their biggest option was APC. However, Kwankwaso wanted something major for himself within APC without considering others. Abba, on the other hand, calculated that he was unlikely to win if he contested against APC, so he kept persuading Kwankwaso. But Kwankwaso’s “greediness” wouldn’t allow him to reconsider his demands from APC. That’s why Abba decided to leave him and join APC. It’s as simple as that.

Are you sure about this? Does the Fulanis in Kano constitute only 10% of the population of Kano? I find this quite hard to belief 😎

Pls in what world do nonentity of no relevance tell seasoned politicians how to play a politics they have undergone tested n came out victorious ?


Hemanwel:
If governor Yusuf knows what is good for him; if he really wants his second term ambition to come to reality, he better identifies with the ADC in his State while remaining in APC. Or better still, moves completely to ADC.

Half a word is enough for the wise!

I have said what was on ground. Kwankwaso's demand from APC was the problem. They wanted to decamp together initially.
Re: Governor Yusuf Names Garo As Deputy by TimeMachine2: 12:18pm On Apr 22
You can verify using Google or other means, though it was inflated to 12% but still, what difference does it make? Kwankwaso is fulani, Ganduje is a fulani ....the two emirs fighting for the kingship are also fulanis.

Re: Governor Yusuf Names Garo As Deputy by TimeMachine2: 12:26pm On Apr 22
Stop lying!
The Fulani people constitute approximately 12% of the population in Kano State, which has an estimated population exceeding 13–15 million people as of recent estimates. They are one of the principal inhabitants, often in the Hausa-Fulani majority, with a significant presence in state leadership
Ibrahim505:
About 60% of Kano indigent polpulation are fulani by tribe. However, fulani language is almost obselete, everyone speak Hausa.
The jihad conducted by the chief terrorist, and first known bandit, Usman Dan Fodio to dominate the Hausa people is expiring in real-time.

And, again why do you have a position of senior special adviser on Fulani matters only in Kano? Why not also, senior special adviser on Hausa matters?
The end of your Hausa-Fulani scam is just by the corner.
Re: Governor Yusuf Names Garo As Deputy by Urgent1Million: 12:31pm On Apr 22
Deputy governorship candidate of APC in 2023, deputy governor in 2026, deputy governorship candidate again in 2027, then ....
At least he has become the deputy governor that he wanted to become.
Ambition fulfilled.

Let's wait and see how many more wives he'll marry now.
Re: Governor Yusuf Names Garo As Deputy by TimeMachine2: 12:35pm On Apr 22
just Google Hausa Zalla and see the massive awareness going on. Groups and sub groups are being forged to dislodged the old order of fulani hegemony in Hausa land.

Show me, one fulani man that was kidnapped by fulani kidnapping bandits, just one! The likes of Gumi are foot soldiers protecting the bandits.

This is the singular crime committed by Tinubu, hence you see the fulani ganging up. INEC chairman, APC chairman, Minister of defence are all Christians and minorities.

They are all out fighting Tinubu because they won't survive his 8 years. Or you think it was because he is under performing?

Re: Governor Yusuf Names Garo As Deputy by Razzness(m): 12:49pm On Apr 22
Only time will tell. It will definitely not be easy; Kwankwaso has a certain kind of foothold in Kano that very few politicians in Nigeria possess in their home states.

Akpakomiza2:
He will still win his second term

Abba doesn't need APC to win his second term. Abba decamped out of his volition.

Ibrahim505:
President Buhari ordered the soldiers to extra judicially execute any thug involved with snathcing ballot box. Garo deliberately teared the election result of entire local govenment denying this same governor been elected in 2019.
The politicians are only using the poor as a tool for their fake rivalry.
Exactly what came to my mind just now. Garo was virtually stripped naked and about to be lynched by kwankwaso/Abba supporters. Fortunately, the police arrived and whisked him and Gawuna away, the video of that event is still on twitter. That mob will be looking so foolish right now with the way things turned out. sad
Re: Governor Yusuf Names Garo As Deputy by Solcampbell: 3:18pm On Apr 22
Razzness:
This is getting serious. If Kwankwaso really wants to do Abba dirty, he should just pick Gawuna as the gubernatorial candidate. Abba will be done. But seriously, I can't even begin to understand what kind of brain Abba has. Even if you intend to betray your principal, why do it just a year to the election? Why not hold on till you win your second term? Then you can do whatever you like.
The worst mistake that kwankwaso will make is to give the gubernatorial ticket to Gawuna. As soon as he becomes governor, he's returning to APC within months. For all we know, this might be the plan between him and Ganduje to further destroy Kwankwaso.

Better kwankwaso make him fight for the ticket with Abdulsalam and other kwankwasiyya loyalists.

Abba may be accused of betraying Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, they still have decades-long ties with him and are generally viewed as more honest figures than Gawuna. Gawuna has, for years, carried a reputation for being untrustworthy and controversial, with criticisms of his behavior going back to his youth.

His inability to secure victory even in his own ward during the last governorship election is a reflection on his standing amongst his own people.
Re: Governor Yusuf Names Garo As Deputy by Razzness(m): 4:31pm On Apr 22
Hmmm. You are right, Gawuna is almost a sure bet to betray Kwankwaso as soon as he becomes governor. But then he already has a political pull of his own, unlike Abdulsalam, who will rely solely on Kwankwaso's voters, and the combination of Abba and Ganduje is not going to be easy to beat. A Gawuna backed by Kwankwaso has much stronger odds of winning than an Abdulsalam. The question is whether Kwankwaso can take the risk with Gawuna or play the safer bet with Abdulsalam and fight it out.

He is seen as too powerful and will upset Barau's chances in the next four years, if Abba wins.

I live about fifteen minutes from Gawuna ward, where Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna is from. Honestly speaking, the situation on the ground doesn’t match his hype online. Much of what’s pushed on platforms like Nairaland and twitter feels exaggerated. I'm not surprised though, that's what APC data boys are being paid to do.

In reality, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has a much stronger visible presence in that area, with more posters and grassroots support, except right around Gawuna’s father's home.
The bottom line is Kwankwaso doesn't rely on Gawuna, if anything, the dependence runs the other way and both men know this.
Re: Governor Yusuf Names Garo As Deputy by Razzness(m): 5:29pm On Apr 22
Gawuna polled over 800,000 votes last election; that doesn't simply go away. Whether his ward people don't like him is another issue. But the reality is that Gawanu has been on the battlefield of elections multiple times before; that definitely gives him a significant edge over Abdusallam, who is relatively a novice and will have to rely 100% on Kwankwaso voters.

Gawuna will definitely not win without Kwankwaso while Kwankwaso "might" pull through without him. What I am simply saying is that their chances of winning against Abba and Ganduje (who are also no strangers to the election battleground) will be much stronger if they align together.

He lost most of the polling units in Kano Central where he's from though. Majority of those 800,000 votes came from Kano North, thanks to Barau and Abba Bichi, and a few federal appointees from that side. But I agree, their alignment might get them better results.

You are right, Boss and I completely get your point. But in a free and fair election devoid of electoral malpractices and use of thugs to intimidate voters, Gawuna wouldn't even poll up to a 200,000 votes.

Remember the 2019 episode where Gawuna and Garo invaded a polling unit in Gawuna ward when it was obvious that Abba would win flawlessly. The embarrassment was too much for them to stomach and they tore the ballot papers? (The video is still in twitter)
That incident ultimately led to the election being declared inconclusive by APC court.
