People With Red Caps Will Soon Disappear In Kano, Tinubu Will Win The State In 2027 - Jibrin

Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin, has stated that very soon, the red cap, which is a symbol of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, loyalists of former presidential aspirant, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, will soon be a thing of the past in Kano State.

Jibrin also predicted that President Bola Tinubu and other candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will win the presidential, governorship, national and state House of Assembly elections in 2027 in Kano.

The Senate Deputy President stated this while receiving some politicians who dumped the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He said the rate at which the NNPP members, including their leaders, are trooping to the APC is a testament to the growing popularity and support the APC is getting in Kano despite being an opposition party.

“I will continue to receive NNPP members rushing to join our party. Politics is a game of numbers. If you have a political party and members of other parties are not joining you, it means there is a problem.

“The NNPP members are attracted to the APC by our numerous interventions across critical spheres of our state and the country at large by the President Tinubu administration.

“At the formation of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu went across the country to woo people to the party. And this was why the party became popular in the country. We will continue receiving NNPP and other party members regardless of what some people say. Time will come. You will be looking for someone with a red cap, the symbol of the Kwankwasiyya, and you won’t see any in Kano. We will get there soon.

“We are doing this to lay a solid foundation for our party, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and others to win the presidential, governorship, national and state House of Assembly elections come 2027 in Kano and beyond,” Jibrin was quoted in a statement by his media aide, Ismail Mudashir.

The Deputy National Women Leader of the APC, Hajiya Zainab Abubakar Ibrahim, who was also present at the political event to receive the defectors, expressed hope that the APC would win Kano in 2027.

“The massive support our party is receiving in Kano shows the days of the NNPP are numbered in the state. We will take back our state at the poll come 2027, by Allah’s grace,” she said.
