“Kano has traditionally been a PDP state, and the PDP is in the blood of the people,” he declared.
**Who did the candidate thank for his nomination?**
Abacha expressed gratitude to the party’s national leadership, the Kano State chapter, the delegates who voted for him in the primary, as well as stakeholders and party members for the confidence placed in him.
He described this confidence as a solemn responsibility, promising to honour it through hard work, extensive consultation, and an unwavering commitment to Kano’s development.
The candidate also praised party members who stayed loyal during difficult periods, noting that their sacrifices have kept the party’s structures intact and its presence felt across the state.
**How will the PDP’s campaign be framed?**
He urged members to shift their focus to the electorate, emphasizing that the campaign will centre on hope, opportunity, accountability and inclusive development rather than bitterness or personal attacks.

He assured supporters that the party will approach the 2027 election with a united structure, a clear message and a campaign designed to touch all corners of the state.
“Our objective is clear: to win the 2027 governorship election and form the next PDP government in Kano State,” he affirmed.
Abacha acknowledged that achieving this goal will demand discipline, sacrifice and a high level of organisation, adding that the party is ready to meet the challenge.
**What is the call to grassroots mobilisation?**
He appealed to PDP members to return to grassroots activities, urging them to rebuild party structures, strengthen unity and work collectively for the benefit of Kano State rather than pursuing personal ambitions.
