The People’s Redemption Party (PRP) governorship candidate in Kano state, Salihu Tanko Yakasai, said he is confident that his party will beat the incumbent All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming election in the state.
He said judging from history, PRP has put the state on the path to development when it led the state in the second republic.

Yakasai was speaking when he paid homage to the Kanuri traditional ruler in Kano state, the Mai Kanuribe, Mai Mustapha Lawan, in his Kano palace on Sunday.
He said, “As far as I am concerned, PRP has no challenge in Kano state. it is APC, PDP, NNPP and other parties that have challenge because they have been in power and people have seen what they have to offer.
“PRP has also been in power in the past, and largely what is been enjoyed here on Kano state in terms of developmental projects are those laid down by PRP.
“So, anybody that is proud of what Kano has become today, owed it to PRP. Unfortunately, subsequent parties have not been able to build on that.
“So by God’s grace we hope that PRP will be in power again come 2023 in Kano state and we will defeat them hands down,” he boasted.
The candidate also said people from Borno and Yobe who constituted the emirate have been contributing immensely to the development of Kano state as well as constitute the largest ethnic group in Kano after the Hausa host community.
Responding, the Mai Kanuribe, Mai Mustapha Lawan thanked the candidate and promised to work any politician that will bring development and prosperity to the state.
