Reno Omokri, a former Special Assistant on social media to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has predicted that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will be re-elected in 2027, following the removal of Abba Yusuf as the Kano State governor.
He made this known on his X page (formerly Twitter), while reacting to the Court of Appeal’s verdict on the Kano State gubernatorial election on Friday
TheNiche had earlier reported that the court upheld the ruling of the Kano State governorship election tribunal which had earlier sacked Governor Yusuf.
According to the judges, Yusuf was not a member of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) at the time the elections were conducted and should not have stood for the election.

Reacting to the judgment, Reno said with the development and given the voting pattern in Kano state, Tinubu will likely get about two million votes in the 2027 presidential election.
He went on to advise that the NNPP and
Labour Party to merge with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in order to defeat Tinubu and APC.
Speaking via his social media page, Remo Omokri tweeted: “The sacking of Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano by the Court of Appeals has made Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 more certain.
“Why? Because Kano has the highest registered voters of any state and will give at least two million votes to presidential candidates in 2027. Sadly, whoever is governor tends to direct where those votes go.
“If the NNPP and Labour Party know what is good for them, they should merge with the PDP, as Waziri Atiku suggested. Because if they do not merge, then Tinubu will re-emerge. It is just common sense. Although common sense is not so common in Nigerian politics!”
