Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress in the Kankara/Faskari/Sabuwa Federal Constituency of Katsina State have affirmed a former Commissioner for Environment, Hamza Sule Faskari, as the party’s consensus candidate for the House of Representatives seat ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The affirmation took place at a stakeholders’ rally held in Kankara on Saturday, where party leaders and members endorsed the decision of the constituency consensus committee.
Party stalwarts at the event said the move reflected the “popular” will of stakeholders across the 31 wards in the three local government areas that make up the constituency.
They said the consensus arrangement was reached after consultations among party leaders, ward representatives and other stakeholders.
According to them, factors considered in the selection included Faskari’s popularity, acceptability, political experience, and record of public service.
