The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, has received a strong endorsement from former chairmen of Kano State’s 44 local government areas who served between 2003 and 2011, backing him for the 2027 governorship election.
In a meeting held at the National Assembly in Abuja, the former chairmen, led by Hon. Garba Idris Unguwar Rimi of Tofa LGA, unanimously threw their weight behind Senator Jibrin.
Speaking during the endorsement, Hon. Unguwar Rimi said, “On behalf of all of us who were local government chairmen between 2003 and 2011, we have endorsed you for the governorship election of Kano State, come 2027.
The endorsement is based on what you have done for us, our people, and our party, the APC. We are calling on you to contest for the governorship election in our state, Kano. Anywhere you go, we are with you and will support and work for your victory.”
The Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Agenda in Kano State, Hon. Salihu Sagir Takai, called on all APC stakeholders to join the Tinubu/Barau movement. He urged party members to back both President Bola Tinubu’s second-term bid and Senator Jibrin’s gubernatorial ambitions.
He said, “Let’s all work for the second term bid of President Tinubu and for Senator Barau to become Kano governor in 2027. He is focused and has a direction – to restore the glorious days of our state.”
Senator Jibrin thanked the former LG chairmen for their support, describing the movement as a mission to “rescue Kano State” from years of retrogression and leadership challenges.
He pledged to work with all stakeholders to restore prosperity and ensure governance that benefits every resident of the state.
