Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin and the immediate past National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, on Thursday led a delegation of party leaders from Kano State in pledging unwavering support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
The commitment was made during a high-level strategy meeting in Abuja, where Kano APC stakeholders also vowed to reclaim the governorship seat from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in the next general elections.
The closed-door session brought together key figures, including Minister of State for Housing, Abdullahi Ata; Senator Kawu Sumaila; House Appropriations Committee Chairman, Hon. Abubakar Kabir Bichi; former Governor Kabiru Gaya; Director-General of the National Productivity Centre, Baffa Babba Dan’agundi; Murtala Sule Garo; and several serving and former legislators and commissioners.
Speaking after the meeting, Ganduje described the APC in Kano as “united, intact, and stronger than ever,” emphasizing the party’s readiness to deliver victory for Tinubu and reclaim the state in 2027.
“Our party has grown from strength to strength. Many prominent politicians from other parties have joined our fold. This shows APC remains the platform of choice in Kano State,” he said.
He added that the party will intensify mobilization during the ongoing voter registration exercise to secure victories at both state and national levels.
Deputy Senate President Jibrin echoed Ganduje’s remarks, highlighting Tinubu’s policies as beneficial to Kano and the wider North. He urged APC supporters to continue backing the president and promoting his achievements.
Hon. Bichi, Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, reinforced this view, citing Tinubu’s projects in Kano as proof of his commitment to the state.
“Come 2027, Kano will stand solidly behind the president and elect an APC governor, Insha Allah,” he said.
Political observers note that the Abuja meeting signals a renewed push by Kano APC leaders to consolidate the party’s strength and align fully with the president ahead of the 2027 elections.
