Tinubu Poised for Landslide Victory in Kano in 2027, Predicts APC Chieftain

Kano State is buzzing with political energy as chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC) confidently project a resounding victory for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections. Rabi’u Bichi, the Managing Director of the Hadejia Jama’are River Basin Development Authority and a key figure in the APC's 2023 campaign in Kano, has articulated a compelling vision of Tinubu's imminent triumph.

President Bola Tinubu will get a landslide victory in 2027 due to the unprecedented consolidation of the APC political structure in the state.

Bichi's optimism stems from what he describes as an unprecedented consolidation of the APC's political machinery in Kano. He highlights the seamless unification of major party blocs, including the legacy structure of former Governor Ganduje, the National Assembly caucus led by Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, and recent high-profile defectors from opposition parties. This cohesive front, he argues, presents a formidable challenge to any opposition force in the state.

Tinubu will win Kano by a landslide in 2027 because the political arithmetic that defined 2023 has been upended.

The grassroots mobilization capacity of the APC is another cornerstone of Bichi's prediction. The public fundraising of N50 million to cover half the cost of the President's nomination forms is presented as a clear demonstration of the party's ability to rally support and resources, a feat he believes the opposition cannot replicate. Furthermore, Bichi emphasizes President Tinubu's tangible impact on Kano through federal projects and appointments, which he contends have reshaped public sentiment in favor of the administration.

The public fundraising of N50 million to offset half of the President’s nomination forms further demonstrates a mobilisation capacity the opposition cannot match.

With Governor Yusuf's recent defection bringing state and federal structures under a single umbrella, Bichi asserts that Tinubu enters the 2027 race with a dual advantage: incumbency and a merged political machine. He draws a parallel with Kano's electoral history, where such a combination has consistently paved the way for landslide victories. The recent endorsement of Tinubu as the sole presidential candidate for 2027 by APC stakeholders further solidifies this outlook, signaling a unified party ready to secure a decisive win.

With Governor Yusuf’s defection bringing state and federal structures under one roof, Tinubu enters 2027 with both incumbency advantages and a merged political machine.
