The chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano Abdullahi Abbas, has said that the ruling party will win all 2023 elections “by hook or crook”.
Abbas declared this during his speech at the flag-off of the party’s governorship campaign in Gaya Local Government Area (LGA), Kano on Wednesday.
Abdullahi said the APC was ready to take the bull by the horn in retaining its dominance in the state.
“People are saying that I should stop saying the APC would capture Kano by hook or crook. I want to tell this gathering that the APC would capture Kano by hook or crook,” he added.
“We have today demonstrated our resolve of winning the election from top to bottom come the year 2023.
“Gaya, as you know, is the home of APC. No political party can match our strength and our clout. We are determined to take the bull by the horn in maintaining our dominance. Gawuna is our candidate and is going to be the next governor of Kano State.
“We have made all the necessary preparations — the colorful event where our candidate will receive his flag from the president who will be here in Kano for the purpose of giving him the flag.”
On his part, Nasiru Gawuna, APC governorship candidate in Kano, who is also the current deputy governor, said nothing would stop him from winning the election.
“I want to believe that my destiny is in the hands of God and that I have no iota of doubt that with God’s will, nothing would stop me from winning the race,” he said.
“Our party still remains formidable and vibrant and we are also willing to remain steadfast in the face of all odds.”
