Kano Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf asserted on Friday that his re-election campaign is not a life-or-death matter, asserting that divine will determines power. This was during the swearing-in of two new commissioners. Yusuf urged those who see politics as a struggle for survival to reconsider, asserting that his administration believes in destiny.

He emphasized that whether good or bad, it is God who grants and revokes authority. Despite setbacks in the 2019 election and legal battles, Yusuf believes the victory in 2027 is ordained by God. He charged the new commissioners to enhance the state's media system, combat illegal mining, and foster collaboration with other ministries.
