The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, has said Kaduna State will give the All Progressives Congress, APC, the highest number of votes from the North in 2027.
Abbas assured President Bola Tinubu that Kaduna State will
continue to play a critical role in shaping Nigeria’s political direction.
Speaking in Kaduna on Thursday, the Speaker dismissed the
influence of former state governor, Nasir El-Rufai, in the North.
Lately, El-Rufai had teamed up with the opposition coalition
determined to remove Tinubu from power in 2027.
El-Rufai had declared that Tinubu cannot win the 2027
presidential election.
Dismissing El-Rufai’s influence, Abbas assured Tinubu that
Governor Uba Sani and his allies would ensure that Kaduna State produces the
highest votes in the North.
He said: “Kaduna State is a state that plays a critical role
in shaping Nigeria’s political direction and development priorities, your visit
today is timely and significant, it reflects leadership that engages directly,
listens attentively, and responds with hardship.
“We acknowledge with deep sympathy the loss of lives in
Yelwata in Benue State and we commend you for responding not only through
pronouncement but also by your personal presence in Makurdi.
“Mr President, Kaduna has long been at the centre of
Nigeria’s national conversation, politically, economically and historically.
“In the 2023 election, the APC received over 30 percent of
the valid votes in the state. While that outcome may appear insignificant, it
leaves room for growth and I want to assure you that the governor and his sons
will do everything possible to ensure that come 2027, Kaduna State will produce
probably the highest number of votes in the Northern part of Nigeria.
“Your excellency, Kaduna has no reason to vote anyone else
in 2027.
“My belief is pending on your administration’s commitment to
Kaduna in every practical terms. You have initiated a wide range of
infrastructure of federal projects that directly impacts the state of Kaduna.”
