2027: North Will Vote Massively For Tinubu – Kwankwaso

The Director of Finance, Hadejia Jama’are River Basin, Alhaji Musa Illiyasu Kwankwaso, has fired back at the Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, saying they have no political value or influence to stop President Bola Tinubu from winning massively in the northern parts of Nigeria in 2027.
Musa Illiyasu Kwankwaso, who supports Ganduje, the National Chairman of the APC, in his position that “the North should wait till 2031 to reclaim power,” insisted that “ACF lacks political value to speak for the North.”
Kwankwaso reminded ACF, saying, “Most of you in this forum were in power for decades, but what did you do for the North that you now claim to defend? Nothing. Rather, you only served your personal interests, nothing more.”
Picking on individual members of the ACF, Musa Illiyasu Kwankwaso reminded Solomon Dalung, who is at the forefront of attacking Tinubu and his government, saying, “Were you not silent after gaining power in Buhari’s government despite your critical stance on misgovernance?”

He alleged that “people like Solomon Dalung, Najaatu Muhammad, Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and a host of others have nothing to tell the North because they cannot show what they did for the region.”
Illiyasu Kwankwaso further supported Ganduje’s position by stating that Tinubu’s performance for the northern region in just a few months of his administration surpasses that of many others who have nothing to show.
“Ganduje is right; the North should wait till 2031 to start talking about power because right now, one can clearly see the impact of his contributions to the development of the region.”
He explained that the Northwest Commission, spearheaded by the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau Jibrin, which the President has since assented to, the over N600 billion for the Northwest Commission, and the recent approval of N150 billion for the construction of Metro Rail lines in Kano City, championed by the Chairman of the House of Representatives Appropriation Committee, Abubakar Kabir Abubakar Bichi, are facts, not fiction.

“Today, the entire northern Nigeria has become a project site with so many projects ongoing, and these are made possible by the full support of President Tinubu. More are coming as he reclaims power in 2027.”
Musa Illiyasu Kwankwaso further praised Umar Abdullahi Ganduje for his effective party leadership, which has led to the defection of hundreds of top members from other parties to the APC.
“We have seen that, apart from winning many states in the run-off elections, Ganduje is daily receiving National Assembly members, including Senators, House of Representatives members, and other top echelon members from other parties.”
He added that in Kano, the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau Jibrin, has completely shaken the foundation of the NNPP, with former commissioners and other top members being received daily by the DSP.
“These and many other strong points clearly show that it is only a matter of time before President Tinubu returns to power in 2027. This has strongly unsettled Kwankwaso and his Kwankwasiyya supporters, who today realize they have no party to rely on.”

Fubara Sacks Commissioners, Others

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has sacked all commissioners and other public office holders serving in his administration.
The decision, according to a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Wednesday evening by his Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi, takes immediate effect and followed the recent Supreme Court judgment.
The governor, during a valedictory session with his cabinet to mark Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary at Government House, Port Harcourt, thanked the outgoing officials for their services and contributions to the state’s development over the past two years.
The statement read in part, “Rivers State Governor, His Excellency, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has thanked members of his cabinet for their services and contributions to the development of the state in the last two years.

“The governor highlighted the significance of Nigeria’s Independence, and called on all Nigerians to work together with Mr President to build a peaceful, secure and prosperous country and a brighter future for all.
“Furthermore, the Governor has relieved all Commissioners and other public officers affected by the recent Supreme Court judgment of their appointments with immediate effect.”
Fubara also reiterated his commitment to serve the state “with renewed vigour,” while expressing gratitude to Rivers people for their support and wishing Nigerians a happy Independence anniversary.

Recall that the immediate past administrator of the state, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (retd.), upon assumption of office during the emergency rule imposed by President Bola Tinubu, suspended all commissioners, special advisers, and assistants appointed by Fubara. Ibas also dissolved boards and suspended heads of parastatals he met in office.
Since Ibas exited the state on September 18, the fate of Fubara’s appointees had remained uncertain. The Rivers State House of Assembly, at its first sitting after the lifting of the emergency rule, had called on the governor to submit a fresh list of commissioner-nominees for screening, alongside the 2025 budget for passage.

2027: Crisis Rocks Kaduna ADC Over Power Tussle

The Kaduna State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is enmeshed in crisis as a fierce power struggle among leading figures threatens the party’s chances in the 2027 general elections.
ADC stalwart, Malam Salihu Lukman, raised the alarm on Wednesday, warning that the party may not make a meaningful impact at the polls if the internal rift persists.
In a statement, Lukman alleged that some party leaders have aligned with certain aspiring candidates for the 2027 elections to the exclusion of others.
He called on former Kaduna State governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, Malam Jaafaru Sani, Alhaji Bashir Saidu, and other opposition leaders in the state to halt what he described as “the madness” of candidates bent on hijacking party structures.

According to him, “anybody who is not ready to work as part of a united opposition in Kaduna State is consciously or unconsciously working for the APC.”
Expressing concern over the infighting, Lukman said his efforts to mediate had largely failed.
“The fact that Senator Musa Bello is aggressively seeking to control structures of ADC in Zone 2 is a reflection of my failure, largely because I am associated with him.
“Senator Lawal Adamu (Mr. La) has avoided all my requests to meet him. I have met Malam Jaafaru Sani on this matter and had discussions with Malam Nasir. Sadly, we are not united, and the perception is that I am part of the problem.”

Lukman stressed that he has no political ambition but remains committed to building a united front. “As a citizen from Kaduna State, I am willing to make every necessary sacrifice to move our state forward. Without sounding immodest, I made every sacrifice to contribute to forming the coalition and negotiating the agreement with ADC.
“May I therefore appeal to Malam Nasir and all our leaders to please seek to unite us. It is only if we are united in ADC that we can unite our people in the state to defeat the APC in 2027. We must bear in mind that it is not just about defeating APC but about producing a government controlled by our party based on collective leadership.
“We need to put an end to the era when we produce emperors as governors. Anything short of a government managed by collective leadership under ADC will be unacceptable.”
