Governor Kwankwaso is said to not be as politically popular as the former governor – particularly with the Kano residents residing within the hinterlands. The popular perception held by the Kano residents in the hinterlands is that the Governor used the local government funds to develop only the Kano metropolis. Political observers in Kano believe that the APC may have difficulties holding on to the State at the presidential and gubernatorial level.
The PDP is slated to launch its campaign next week in Kano.
