Tinubu’s inaction on Kano emirate crisis may affect 2027 re-election bid — NNPP chair

The Chairman of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, Hashimu Dungurawa, has cautioned President Bola Tinubu that his perceived stance and laxity over the Kano lingering Emirship tussle may negatively work against his second term ambition in 2027.

Dungurawa while speaking with newsmen in his Lugard House office, on Sunday, noted that the ongoing Emirate crises is already giving the President bad names.

“Your perceived stance on the ongoing Kano Emirate tussle would surely work against you in the 2027 presidential polls because if you think you can use it to secure grounds in Kano, when the chips are down it will dawn on you that you have made costly mistakes,” he said.

To this end, he appealed to the President to apply wisdom to bring to an end the Emirate debacle by ensuring that the deposed Emir is banished from Kano.

He hinted that his party will still field the leader of the party, Dr Rabiu Kwankwaso, as presidential candidate in 2027.

“We are going to field Kwankwaso as our party’s presidential flag-bearer in 2027, because for now, he stands as the only person who will make it to the Presidency and he stands the chances of becoming the next President God willing,” he added.
