The sacking of Kano state Governor has made Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 more certain – Reno Omokri

Reno Omokri asserts that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 re-election is now assured, attributing it to the removal of Abba Yusuf as Kano State governor.

The recent Appeal Court decision deemed Yusuf ineligible due to non-membership in the NNPP during the elections, upholding the governorship election tribunal’s position.

The judges 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!”
