The member representing Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency of Kano State, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu will defeat former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, in the state during the 2027 presidential election.
Jibrin made the prediction on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, while discussing the political contest in Kano ahead of the 2027 election.
Kwankwaso, a former two-term governor of the state, is the running mate to former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi on the ticket of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
Jibrin, who previously worked closely with Kwankwaso but is now a member of Tinubu’s All Progressives Congress (APC), said his knowledge of the former governor’s political structure and strategies would help the APC counter his influence at the polls.
Asked whether Tinubu could defeat Kwankwaso in Kano, Jibrin said, “He will because many of us know the dynamics, his strategies, how he operates, the Kwankwasiyya movement, their strengths, their weaknesses, we are all here and we know how we will be able to deal with that situation.”
