The Governor will also launch the APC e-registration exercise in the state.
Meanwhile, Governor Yusuf has declared that his administration’s priority is the ‘Kano Agenda’, placing it above personal or group interests.
This followed his decision to align with the APC
According to a statement by his spokesperson Sanusi Bature, in Kano on Sunday, Yusuf stated that his intention was solely focused on Kano’s development and citizens’ welfare, harbouring no hatred towards anyone.
He made this remark at a Motorcycle Empowerment Programme for social media influencers in Kano.
He declared that the era of disrespectful statements against leaders was over, advocating unity, mutual respect, and economic prosperity.
The Governor maintained that collaborations on Kano’s economic and political development were yielding results, citing the partnership with the Nigeria Police Force in curbing crimes.
On the 2027 elections, Yusuf said he would focus on developmental projects, leaving leadership to God’s decision.
He appealed to social media influencers to project Islam’s true image, promoting unity, humility, and peace.
Meanwhile, hundreds of supporters on Sunday stormed the Kano residence of Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso in solidarity with the former governor of the state and presidential candidate of the NNPP in the 2023 general elections.
Reacting to the visit, Kwankwaso in a post on his verified X account (formerly Twitter) wrote:
“This afternoon, I was honoured to receive a solidarity visit at my residence in Kano from the resilient people of Nasarawa Local Government.
“In our discussions, I reaffirmed my profound appreciation for their unwavering courage and determination. Despite the recent trials that have tested the faith and fortitude of many, they have chosen to stand firmly with us—not for personal gain, but for the collective progress and wellbeing of our people.
“Together, we remain resolute in upholding and advancing the timeless ideals of Kwankwasiyya.
“Thank you once again for your loyalty and solidarity. The journey continues, and victory is assured by the grace of God and the will of the people”. – RMK
