To bolster support among political office holders, Yusuf approved the allocation of plots of land to over 300 political aides and a payment of N100,000 to each beneficiary.

Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, Ismail Falgore, echoed the sentiment, stating that the APC has no apologies for promoting President Tinubu’s achievements in Kano. He noted that constituency projects supported by Governor Yusuf have enhanced the party’s popularity and positioned it favorably for the 2027 elections.

Next Steps for Kano APC

  • Political appointees to register with the APC without delay.
  • Strengthening party structures ahead of the elections.
  • Continued promotion of President Tinubu’s achievements in Kano.
  • Preparation for the political contest against the Kwankwasiyya movement.
