“We are saying it loud and clear, I swear if Abdullahi Abbas is given another chance all of us will decamp from the Party and APC will crash and lose 2027, this is my message to anybody who cares to listen”.
The Minister issued this threat during a stakeholders and caucus meeting in Kano on Saturday.
Yusuf Atta reminded that “the arrogant and misguided disposition of Abdullahi Abbas as State Chairman, questioning the powerful position of God was among so many negative tendencies that crippled and made the party lose power in 2023”.
“And up till today, the same person has not changed, therefore we are strongly warning that in any case and anyhow Abdullahi Abbas was given another chance everyone should consider the party losing 2027”.
He explained that, ” we are given good training by our parents and we know who is God we never dare him, but this man, don’t know that, therefore with him as Chairman APC is a foregone party in Kano”.
Atta said in 2023 APC won the Governorship contest with Gawuna and Sule Garo as Gubernatorial candidate and deputy, but what happened was anti-God remarks of Abdullahi Abbas that truncated the victory.
It was gathered that the National Chairman of the APC, Dr Umar Abdullahi Ganduje is allegedly hell-bent on reimposing Abdullahi Abbas to continue as State Chairman of the Party for the fourth term.
Ganduje is said to be allegedly hooked to Abdullahi Abbas as State Chairman to cripple the chances of Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau Jibrin’s move to clinch the governorship ticket in 2027.
