Reno Omokri, a socio-political activist, has stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 is now certain, following the judgement of Abba Yusuf as Kano State governor.
Metrowatchxtra.com reported earlier on Friday that the Appeal Court found that Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf was not a member of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) at the time of the elections.
Yusuf was elected on the NNPP platform, but the court maintained the governorship election tribunal’s decision that the governor is unable to run for the seat.
The judges further stated that the tribunal was wrong not to have disqualified the appellant, Governor Yusuf.
Omokri wrote: “The sacking of Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano by the Court of Appeals has made Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 more certain.
“Why? Because Kano has the highest registered voters of any state and will give at least two million votes to presidential candidates in 2027. Sadly, whoever is governor tends to direct where those votes go.
“If the NNPP and Labour Party know what is good for them, they should merge with the PDP, as Waziri Atiku suggested. Because if they do not merge, then Tinubu will re-emerge. It is just common sense. Although common sense is not so common in Nigerian politics!”
