As the February 25, 2023 presidential election approaches, the candidates of the four major political parties – Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, Peter Obi of the Labour Party and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria People’s Party, are battling to grab significant chunk of Kano’s six million votes,The 2023 general election is not going to be business-as-usual in Kano State due to the emergence of many presidential candidates that...
The PDP stalwarts whom the Wazirin Adamawa is relying on are believed to lack sufficient number of followers in the state. However, the dispute between the court-sacked governorship candidate, Wali and the court-recognised candidate, Abacha, may lead to protest votes against Atiku and play a spoiler-role in the ambition of the former vice president.In Kano State, Bola Tinubu’s campaign crusade is being spearheaded by the ruling party in the state under the watchful eyes of Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje who has constantly boasted that the state would deliver the highest vote for Tinubu in the election.
“This showed the political maturity and dexterity of Kano citizens. We voted for Chief MKO Abiola of the Social Democratic Party and rejected Bashir Othman Tofa of the National Republican Convention , because we all believed in national integration and competence,” Ganduje had reportedly declared. The governor has been making all the necessary consultations with key stakeholders of the party to make sure that Tinubu garners the majority of the votes in the state.
The Leader of the House of Representatives, Doguwa had also raised the alarm in November last year that the ruling party might lose the largest state in northern Nigeria due to the crisis in the state chapter of the party. Doguwa had also alleged that the deputy governorship candidate, Garo, was a mole in the APC, allegedly working for Atiku, whom he described as Garo’s in-law.The presidential candidate of the Labour Party , Mr. Peter Obi is not very popular among the Kano voters as the majority of the people in the state are more familiar with Tinubu, Atiku and Kwankwaso.
