Deputy President of the Senate, Barau Jibrin, has constituted the All Progressives Congress campaign council for Kano North Senatorial District ahead of the 2027 presidential and National Assembly elections.
Barau, who represents the district in the Senate, tasked members of the council with taking the party’s campaign to voters at the grassroots through intensive mobilisation, including house-to-house engagements.
His Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir, announced the composition of the council in a statement issued on Saturday.
The council will be led by Engineer Rabiu Sulaiman Bichi, Managing Director of the Hadeja Jama’are River Basin Development Authority and former Secretary to the Kano State Government. The Commissioner for Education, Dr Ali Haruna Makoda, was appointed deputy chairman.
Former Surveyor General of the Federation, Surveyor Nadu Yahaya, will serve as secretary, while former House of Representatives member Farouk Lawan is Vice Chairman I.
Saidu Garba Getso and Badamasi Ayuba were named Vice Chairmen II and III, while grassroots politician Alhaji Yusuf Tumfafi will serve as Director-General.
The council also includes Dr Kabiru Ado Zakirai, Ahmed Haruna Bichi and Idris Unguwar Rimi as deputy secretaries.
Yusuf Yusuf Tabuka, Auwalu Ibrahim Danzabuwa, Ali Ado Bagwai and Ali Gumawa were appointed deputy directors-general.
At the local government level, the council has designated chairmen and co-chairmen for the 13 councils that make up Kano North Senatorial District.
The local government areas are Shanono, Bagwai, Gwarzo, Kabo, Rimin Gado, Tofa, Dawakin Tofa, Bichi, Ghari, Tsanyawa, Dambatta, Makoda and Gabasawa.
Barau directed the campaign team to ensure that the APC’s message reached communities across the senatorial district, while using the achievements of the administration as a major campaign point.
“The Deputy President of the Senate charged all members of the Campaign Council to take the APC campaign to every nook and cranny of the Kano North Senatorial District, mobilising massive support for all APC candidates,” the statement said.
The senator maintained that the performance of the administration had provided the party with a strong platform to seek voters’ support.
“The achievements of the administration speak for themselves, with impactful interventions cutting across all critical sectors and touching the lives of constituents positively,” the statement added.
Barau subsequently urged the council to effectively communicate those achievements to constituents and translate the party’s message into electoral support.
“Senator Barau, therefore, urged the campaign council to take the message of the achievements to the people and secure overwhelming support for the APC at the polls,” the statement said.
The campaign structure will also feature serving and former governors and deputy governors, senators, members of the House of Representatives, APC candidates and party officials, alongside former elected office holders and political appointees.
At the local government and ward levels, the campaign committees will draw membership from party executives, serving and former elected officials, councillors, caucus members, elders and other political stakeholders in the respective areas.
