In Kano State, the Deputy President of the Senate, Barau Jibrin, has unveiled the All Progressives Congress, APC, campaign council for Kano North ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Jibrin, who represents Kano North in the Senate, said the campaign structure would focus on strengthening the party at the grassroots, mobilising supporters and promoting APC candidates across the senatorial district.
The Managing Director of the Hadejia-Jama’are River Basin Development Authority and former Secretary to the Kano State Government, Rabiu Sulaiman Bichi, was appointed Chairman of the council.
The Kano State Commissioner for Education, Ali Haruna Makoda, was appointed Deputy Chairman, while former Surveyor-General of the Federation, Nadu Yahaya, will serve as Secretary.
Other members include former House of Representatives member, Farouk Lawan, as First Deputy Chairman, while Saidu Garba Getso and Badamasi Ayuba were appointed Second and Third Deputy Chairmen respectively.
Yusuf Tumfafi was appointed Director-General of the campaign council, alongside other officials responsible for coordinating the campaign.
The campaign council covers all 13 local government areas in Kano North, including Shanono, Bagwai, Gwarzo, Kabo, Rimin Gado, Tofa, Dawakin Tofa, Bichi, Garin Malam, Tsanyawa, Dambatta, Makoda and Gabasawa.
The structure also includes campaign committees at the local government and ward levels, with party leaders and other stakeholders expected to participate in the mobilisation efforts.
Jibrin urged members of the council to take the APC’s message to communities across Kano North, with emphasis on grassroots mobilisation and securing support for the party’s candidates in the 2027 elections.
The move comes as political parties across Nigeria intensify preparations for the 2027 general elections, with Kano North remaining an important political constituency in Kano State.
