From Desmond Mgboh, Kano
Some serving and former members of the Kano State House of Assembly have endorsed the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, for the 2027 governorship race in the state.
The group, led by a former Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, Abdulaziz G. Gafasa, announced this position during a courtesy visit to the Deputy President of the Senate in Abuja.
They described him as the most marketable candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
Speaking at the occasion, Gafasa held that, “We are here to tell you that we are solidly behind you for three reasons. One, you have positively impacted the lives of our people across the three senatorial districts of Kano State.
“Two, you have been a lifeline to our party, APC. Thirdly, you have positively touched our lives, even though some of us are not from the same senatorial district as you. This has made you the most marketable candidate in APC.”
