‘Tinubu Will Not Be Stopped In 2027’ – Kwankwaso

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Director of Finance at the Hadejia Jama’are River Basin Development Authority, Musa Iliyasu Kwankwaso, has declared that no amount of blackmail or political scheming will prevent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu from securing another term in office.

Kwankwaso made the statement in reaction to recent incidents of political violence, including an attack on the convoy of former Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, and the disruption of a meeting of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) leaders in Kaduna.

On Monday, thugs reportedly attacked Malami’s convoy, destroying 10 vehicles. A day earlier, hoodlums disrupted the ADC meeting at NUT Endwell Hotel in Kaduna metropolis, smashing windows and throwing chairs at participants.

Kwankwaso condemned the incidents, describing them as politically motivated attempts to tarnish the image of the president ahead of the 2027 polls.

“These accusations of thug attacks on opposition leaders being thrown at the APC are but orchestrated plans to blackmail the president ahead of the 2027 election,” he said.

He insisted that President Tinubu’s performance would overshadow the attacks and guarantee his re-election.

The APC chieftain argued that Tinubu had already delivered improvements in security, especially in the northern region.

“There were many presidents from northern Nigeria before President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Recently, Buhari did eight years; but of a sudden people are talking about bastardizing the north.

“We all know what happened under Buhari. The security under Tinubu is fast improving. The Kaduna-Abuja expressway is safe. Bandits in northwestern states are on the run. Boko Haram activities have been reduced in the north east. Thanks to the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu who is unrelenting,” he stated.

Kwankwaso also pointed to ongoing infrastructure projects as proof of Tinubu’s commitment to development.

“But President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s scorecard will always speak for him. There are many infrastructural projects going on in various parts of the northern region,” he added.

The APC stalwart further highlighted appointments of northerners into strategic positions as evidence of inclusiveness under the current administration.

“Northerns have been appointed into key positions. The National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, and the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, are from the north, to mention but a few,” he said.
