2027: No vacancy for ADC in Kebbi Govt House – Gov Idris’s aide

Kabiru Sani Giant, the Special Adviser to the Kebbi State Governor on Politics, has expressed his firm belief that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has no chance of gaining control of the Kebbi Government House in the 2027 elections. Speaking to journalists, Giant pointed to the ADC's actions during the party's presidential campaign, alleging they destroyed billboards and vehicles belonging to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

These actions, according to Giant, demonstrate the ADC's untrustworthiness in holding political office. He further accused ADC supporters of vandalizing government and APC property after the party's campaign convoy traveled through Kebbi from Sokoto. Giant noted that while his party's supporters were placed on guard to protect their property from any violent acts, there were no instructions to attack the opposing party.

He also challenged the ADC's governorship candidate's motives, suggesting that his ambition to secure the governorship is unrealistic due to potential immunity from prosecution over corruption charges filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Giant maintained that Kebbi residents would retain their current Governor, Nasir Idris, based on his administration's performance.

Lastly, he appealed to ADC supporters to join the APC, citing a recent court judgment that invalidated the candidacy of politicians from the David Mark-led faction of the ADC.
