Tinubu’s silent stance will work against him in 2027 – NNPP Chairman – Kano Focus

The Kano State Chairman of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), Hashimu Dungurawa, has warned President Tinubu over his perceived stance on the continued struggles for Kano Emirate, saying his apparent laxity would surely defeat his mission of a second term in 2027.

FOCUS ON KANO “Dungurawa, who was speaking to journalists in his Lugard House office on Sunday, expressed concern that the militarisation of Kano by the president because of the crises in the emirates, was giving it a bad name while allowing those who are the goons in the struggle to move around freely.”

“Your perceived position on the ongoing conflicts in Kano Emirate would surely work against you in 2027 because if you think you can use it to gain ground in Kano when things are going badly, you will realise your mistakes.”

The NNPP chairman said: “If the president thinks he will use some of his relatives in Kano and the so-called Yoruba lineage of Bayero to continue to keep the deposed Emir Aminu Ado Bayero in the state, let him wait till 2027, we will show him that these people will not help him,” Dungurawa warned.

He then called on the president to show reason and do all he can to end the debacles in the emirate by ensuring that the deposed emir takes control of Kano.

Hashimu Sulaiman Dungurawa has explained that his party, NNPP, will still field the party leader, Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, for the presidential candidacy in 2027, assuring that Kwankwaso will be the next president of Nigeria.

“We are going to present Kwankwaso as our party’s presidential candidate in 2027 because right now, he is the only person who will make it to the presidency and he has a chance of becoming the next President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, God willing.”

The NNPP chairman also attacked the APC National Chairman, Ganduje: “Kano has never seen a wicked governor like Ganduje whose wickedness has not left behind even a thousand pathetic civil service retirees.”

Dungurawa is concerned that “the suffering and misrule of Ganduje still weighs on the people of Kano, with pensioners left behind to wallow in destitution and abject poverty.”

“You can see that after refusing to pay pensioners gratuities and even their monthly pension, the Ganduje government applied a method of deduction which, though illegal, would have, at the end of its eight years in power, illegally deducted over N5.4 billion.”
