This reflects the ongoing political maneuvering and power struggles in Nigeria's most populous state ahead of the next presidential cycle.
Layer 1 By Adegboyega Adeleye A member of the House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu will win Kano State in the 2027 presidential election, despite the political influence of former governor Rabiu Kwankwaso.
Jibrin, who represents Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency of Kano State, stated this on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, while discussing the political situation in Kano ahead of the 2027 election.

Jibrin, who has previously been associated with the Kwankwasiyya political movement, said he and other APC politicians in Kano understood the movement and its political structure.
