President Tinubu has expressed his intention to contest next year’s election, he’s conetsting against ADC presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar who’s also regarded as a frontrunner in the race.

Tinubu defeated Abubakar, who contested under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the 2023 presidential race.

Kano is expected to play a decisive role in who becomes Nigeria’s president in next year’s election, President Tinubu and other presidential candidates are doing on they can to get the state under their control.

The State Governor Abba Yusuf recently decamped to the ruling APC, a move analysts insist has boosted the president’s chances in 2027.

According to Mohammed, the aspirant has been known for his support for Tinubu, through his public comment, as such he should not be allowed to fly ADC ticket as such could undermine the party’s chance to win the presidential election in the state.

But Mohammed said, “No fairminded Northerner would want to politically associate with any aspirant perceived to be loyal to Tinubu, given the hardship, pain and anguish the region has suffered under this administration.”
