He further directed all political appointees to immediately register as APC members, asserting that every government official must identify with the ruling party and actively contribute to strengthening its structures across the state.
If you are serving in this administration and you have not registered as a member of the APC, you should do so immediately. Every elected and appointed official must actively participate in building and strengthening the party ahead of the 2027 elections.

"As a government, we remain committed to ensuring that the APC records victory at every level. Our responsibility goes beyond governance; we must also consolidate the partyโs strength at the grassroots," he added.

To motivate political office holders, Yusuf approved the allocation of land plots to over 300 political aides and a N100,000 payment for each beneficiary. Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, Ismail Falgore, and Kano APC Chairman, Umar Haruna Doguwa, also expressed the party's readiness for the 2027 elections, highlighting the need to market Tinubu's achievements and prepare for electoral battles.
We owe nobody an apology for marketing the achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The people deserve to know what the President is doing, just as they can see the impact of constituency projects being executed with the support of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
