Tinubu’s Trillion-Naira Projects in North Will Deliver Landslide Victory in 2027 — Kwankwaso

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State, Dr Musa Iliyasu Kwankwaso, has said President Bola Tinubu’s massive infrastructure and development projects across Northern Nigeria will secure him overwhelming support and a landslide victory in the 2027 presidential election.

Kwankwaso made the assertion in a statement issued to journalists in Kano on Saturday, where he highlighted what he described as trillions of naira worth of strategic projects currently being executed by the Tinubu administration across key sectors including transportation, power, agriculture, healthcare and ecological intervention.

According to him, the President’s developmental footprint in the North has significantly altered the political landscape and strengthened his acceptance across the region.

He said the administration’s commitment to large-scale infrastructure renewal demonstrates Tinubu’s determination to address longstanding developmental challenges confronting Northern Nigeria.

Among the projects cited was the Kano–Kongolam Road project, a 132-kilometre road dualisation and construction initiative valued at about N334 billion, designed to connect Kano with Jigawa and Katsina states and improve economic activities along the corridor.

Kwankwaso also referenced the ongoing reconstruction of the Abuja–Kaduna–Kano Expressway, one of the most strategic road networks in the country, which is being upgraded using continuous reinforced concrete pavement technology aimed at ensuring durability and enhancing road security.

He further listed the Sokoto–Badagry Superhighway, a proposed 1,068-kilometre six-lane economic corridor expected to integrate rail infrastructure and boost commercial connectivity between Northern and Southern Nigeria.

According to him, the project reflects Tinubu’s vision for national integration and economic transformation.

The APC stalwart also praised progress on the Kano Eastern Bypass, a 37.8-kilometre dual carriageway with multiple bridges designed to divert heavy-duty industrial traffic away from Kano metropolis and ease urban congestion.

On rail transportation, Kwankwaso described the Kano–Maradi Rail Line as one of the administration’s flagship regional integration projects.

The 284-kilometre railway project traverses Kano, Jigawa and Katsina states and is expected to facilitate trade between Nigeria and neighbouring Niger Republic while reducing transportation costs for goods and passengers.

He also highlighted the near-completion of the Ajaokuta–Kaduna–Kano (AKK) Gas Pipeline, a 614-kilometre strategic energy project expected to boost domestic gas supply, support industrialisation and improve electricity generation across Northern states.

In the area of ecological and agricultural intervention, Kwankwaso said Tinubu approved N47 billion for the Jakara-Gogau-Zungeru urban drainage project in Kano State.

The project is designed to address severe flooding challenges, improve sanitation and modernise sewage systems within Kano metropolis.

He further noted that the Federal Government had released multi-billion naira interventions for the rehabilitation and expansion of 16 dams in Kano State, including the Challawa Gorge Dam, Tiga Dam, and the broader Kano River Irrigation Project, all aimed at strengthening irrigation farming and food security.

On healthcare, he said the administration had sustained upgrades of Federal Teaching Hospitals across the North and revitalised thousands of Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) under the Federal Government’s IMPACT health programme.

Kwankwaso argued that the visible impact of these projects has already positioned Tinubu favourably ahead of the 2027 polls.

“President Tinubu should sleep with his two eyes closed because his re-election bid is already a done deal. The North, and Kano in particular, will give him massive votes that will speedily secure his victory come 2027,” he said.

He added that Northern voters would assess the President based on tangible performance rather than political rhetoric.

The remarks come amid increasing political calculations and alignments ahead of the 2027 general election, with major political blocs across the country already positioning for possible alliances and strategic negotiations.

Political observers note that Northern Nigeria remains a decisive electoral bloc due to its large voting population, making infrastructural development and security improvements critical factors in shaping future electoral outcomes.

While opposition parties have continued to criticise aspects of the Tinubu administration’s economic reforms, APC supporters insist that ongoing federal projects across the North will significantly influence voter sentiment in the next presidential contest.
