Deputy Senate President Inaugurates Kano North Campaign Council, Tasks Members to Deliver APC Candidates from Top to Bottom Says: “APC SAK”
The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, on Tuesday inaugurated the Kano North Senatorial District Campaign Council for the 2027 general elections, charging members and all party stakeholders to unite and mobilise for the victory of all All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates, “from top to bottom: APC, SAK.”
The campaign council is charged to mobilise from across the nooks and crannies of the 13 local government areas of the Kano North Senatorial District for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Senator Barau, the Kano State Governor, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, and all candidates of the APC for the House of Representatives and the State House of Assembly.
Inaugurating the committee in Kano, the Deputy Senate President was quoted in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir, as urging the members of the council, chaired by the Managing Director of the Hadeja Jama’are River Basin Development Authority and former Secretary to the Kano State Government, Engineer Rabiu Sulaiman Bichi, to go all out to promote all APC candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He described the campaign as an all-inclusive council, saying every stakeholder at the ward, local government and senatorial district levels has a role to play in ensuring the success of the party.
“This is an all-inclusive arrangement. Everybody is involved, and all stakeholders are part and parcel of this council. This has always been our system, and it is one of the reasons we have continued to succeed in Kano North. This election will not be an exception, by God’s grace, “Senator Barau said.
He charged the campaign committee to mobilise, galvanise and bring all stakeholders together to secure overwhelming victories for all the candidates of the APC, starting with President Tinubu, him ( Barau as the Senator for Kano North Senatorial District), members of the House of Representatives, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and all candidates of the APC for the state House of Assembly.
Senator Barau also appealed to party members to put the outcome of the APC primary elections behind them, stressing that the primaries were over and that all members remained part of the same political family, APC.
He said it was normal for politicians to compete for party tickets in a democracy, but urged those who emerged victorious to work with those who contested but did not secure the tickets.
“You can see that many of those who contested the primaries but did not secure the tickets are here today. They understand that the party belongs to all of us, and that the victory of the party is ultimately their own victory,” he said.
In his response, the Chairman of the campaign council, Engr Rabiu Suleiman Bichi, said the committee would campaign for all APC candidates from the presidential level down to the State House of Assembly.
He described Senator Barau as a strong and sellable candidate whose interventions and contributions had left visible footprints across Kano State.
The chairman said the committee was made up of seasoned politicians and grassroots mobilisers, expressing confidence that they would work together to deliver the highest possible number of votes for all APC candidates in Kano North and beyond.
He assured Senator Barau that members of the committee would work tirelessly to mobilise the electorate and secure victory for the party in the forthcoming elections.
The inauguration was attended by leaders and members of the campaign council, APC leaders and other supporters from across the Kano North Senatorial District.
