The Deputy President of the Senate, Barau Jibrin, has congratulated Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, following his affirmation as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Yusuf was on Thursday affirmed during a gathering held at the Sani Abacha Stadium, where thousands of APC supporters from the 44 local government areas of Kano State reportedly attended despite heavy rainfall.
According to Barau, the affirmation followed procedures contained in the Electoral Act and the guidelines of the APC.
This was contained in a statement personally signed by the senator on Thursday, in which he disclosed that he moved the motion for the affirmation of the governor, while Senator Abdulrahman Kawu Sumaila seconded the motion.
