Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State during the inauguration of the apex advisory council body, Shura Council at the Kano State Government, said only God can determine his fate in the 2027 general election.
In a statement by his spokesperson, Sanusi Bature, the governor said in 2023, many wrote him off but divine providence made him governor.
“I faced the most difficult challenges of my life after the 2023 elections,” he admitted. “But through those challenges and tears, I remain committed to the service of Kano. I am still here because of God, not because of any individual.
“Leadership is never in the hands of man,” he declared. “God installs and removes leaders as He wishes.”
Governor Yusuf emphasised that a true leader must focus on projects that uplift the people, not on personal political gains.
“Whether I seek re-election or not, my duty is to keep delivering meaningful programmes that will benefit the electorate,” he affirmed.
Acknowledging the reality of power, the governor added: “I know that one day I will vacate this seat. That is why I am doing my best now to transform Kano physically, socially, and morally.”
