You can't use this election to judge NDC, it's impromptu. The general elections is the proper test of all political parties. You're here mentioning Kwankwaso that join NDC yesterday

Kano Has Sent Kwankwaso a Small but Loud Message by CharlesCNG.

Kwankwaso and the Kwankwasiyya movement may need to start asking themselves uncomfortable questions.

In Dawakin Kudu/Warawa Federal Constituency, APC’s Shuaibu Rabiu was declared winner with **35,356 votes**, while the closest reported challenger scored only a few hundred votes. That is not just a win. That is a political statement.

For a state constantly presented as Kwankwaso’s impregnable fortress, this result is embarrassing. Yes, one bye-election does not decide 2027. But it can reveal mood, structure, mobilisation and ground strength.

And this result says something.

APC did not merely appear in Kano. It organised, mobilised and delivered.

The Kwankwasiyya crowd that dominates social media noise suddenly looked very quiet where it mattered most: the ballot box.

Perhaps this is the beginning of Andrew Liver Salt politics for Kwankwaso — the stomach-settling reality that Kano is not anybody’s private estate.

In 2023, Kwankwaso’s strength in Kano was real. But politics is not museum history. Structures shift. Alliances change. Governors matter. Local machinery matters.

If APC can produce this kind of margin in Dawakin Kudu/Warawa, then 2027 may not be the stroll some people imagined.

Kwankwasiyya should stop measuring power by red caps alone.

Votes, not caps, win elections.

FAKE NEWS. Nah yarimo NDC PARTY WIN .....
Massive defects to NDC by KWANKWASIYYA

EponObi:
They are too funny.

When LP defeated APC in Lagos in the presidential election in 2023, no one in APC was making silly excuses like this. It was a slap on the face of Tinubu and APC. They owned the f up and went back to the drawing board.

WTF is impromptu? 🤣
