Deputy President of the Senate, Jibrin Barau, has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu will win the 2027 presidential election, citing assessments by political analysts and the current political situation in the country.
Mr Barau spoke on Sunday at the inauguration of campaign committees for Dawakin Tofa, Tofa and Rimin Gado Local Government Areas in Kano State.
He urged members of the All Progressives Congress to unite and work towards securing victory for all the party’s candidates in the 2027 general elections.
According to a statement by his media aide, Ismail Mudashir, Mr Barau said the foundation laid by President Tinubu during his first term would produce positive results in his second term.
“Based on the assessments of political analysts and the current state of Nigerian politics, all indications suggest that, by Allah’s grace, Bola Tinubu will win the presidential election,” he said.
The Deputy Senate President commended APC leaders, elected representatives, local government chairmen, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and other stakeholders for their support for the party.
He expressed confidence that the unity and cooperation among APC members in Kano would be sustained ahead of the elections.
Barau highlights Kano’s political importance
Mr Barau described Kano as one of Nigeria’s largest states and second only to Lagos in the number of registered voters.
He said the state deserved greater attention and development opportunities from the Federal Government.
The senator also described Governor Yusuf’s decision to defect from the New Nigeria Peoples Party to the APC as a strategic move that had strengthened Kano’s political relevance and improved its prospects of attracting development.
He said the alignment of the governor, local government chairmen, councillors, state lawmakers and National Assembly members under the APC would help translate the party’s political strength into tangible benefits for residents.
APC begins grassroots mobilisation
Mr Barau said the 2027 elections would provide elected representatives with an opportunity to contribute more to the development of their constituencies.
He explained that the campaign committees comprised party leaders, executive members, former and serving lawmakers, councillors, local government chairmen, new members and respected elders.
He charged members of the committees to mobilise voters and campaign vigorously for the APC.
“What is required of you is to play your part actively in securing victory. Mobilise, campaign and ensure that all APC candidates emerge victorious from top to bottom. May Allah grant us success and enable us to achieve our goals,” he said.
