  "account": "Abdulmumini Jibrin, a representative of the House of Representatives, has accused the New Democratic Congress (NDC) of attempting to incite unrest in Kano ahead of the 2027 general elections. Jibrin made this claim during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme. The accusations came in response to a series of incidents where supporters of opposing political parties burned campaign symbols in Kano. Specifically, NDC members burned a cap featuring President Bola Tinubu’s signature and the All Progressives Congress (APC) broom symbol. In retaliation, APC supporters burned Kwankwansiya caps associated with the NDC. Jibrin stated, \"You can see the numbers, and I said it in the speech I made there at the very place where the caps were burned. They (NDC) know they are going to lose the election.\" He further explained that the NDC knew they had no chance of winning Kano South, a crucial swing zone in Kano. Jibrin concluded by asserting that the opposition's actions were deliberate and that his party would not let them disrupt the election process.",
