Abdullahi Abbas, APC chairman in Kano, said the meeting was called to address internal party issues, promote unity among members, and prepare the party to face the opposition ahead of the next electoral cycle.
“We are fully committed to the success of President Tinubu and our great party. This meeting is about consolidating our base, strengthening our unity, and positioning the APC to win convincingly in 2027,” Abbas said.
He added that the APC in Kano is open to reconciliation and expansion, stating that the door is open to welcome members of the Kwankwasiyya movement if they decide to join the party.
However, he warned that if they remain in opposition, the APC would “deal with them” politically during the elections.
“If Kwankwasiyya members are ready to join us in the APC, we will welcome them. But if they remain in opposition, we will confront them decisively at the polls,” he said.
The stakeholders also discussed President Tinubu’s ongoing projects across the north, especially in Kano, debunking claims of regional bias in federal project allocations.
They praised the Tinubu administration for its inclusive approach and commitment to national development.
The meeting was attended by several prominent APC stakeholders, including former gubernatorial candidate Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, Mariya Bunkure, minister of state for the federal capital territory (FCT), Kawu Sumaila, house of representatives members Alhassan Ado Doguwa, Abubakar Kabir Bichi, Sani Bala Tsanyawa, and top federal government appointees from the state, members of the Kano State House of Assembly, party leaders, among others.
The stakeholders jointly pledged to work tirelessly toward ensuring the APC’s continued dominance in Kano and its victory in the 2027 general elections, both at the state and federal levels.
