According to Tajudeen Abbas, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Kaduna State would provide the All Progressives Congress, or APC, with the most votes from the North in 2027.

Kaduna State will continue to be crucial in determining the political course of Nigeria, Abbas reassured President Bola Tinubu.

The Speaker downplayed the impact of Nasir El-Rufai, the former state governor, in the North during his remarks in Kaduna on Thursday.

El-Rufai has recently joined forces with the opposition coalition that was committed to overthrowing Tinubu in 2027.

Tinubu cannot win the 2027 presidential election, according to El-Rufai.

Abbas denied El-Rufai’s involvement and gave Tinubu his word that Governor Uba Sani and his supporters would make sure Kaduna State received the most 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.”
