APC Strengthens Its Foothold in Kano as Deputy Senate President Senator Barau I. Jibrin Welcomes NNPP Decampees

In a significant political development, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State is witnessing a surge in strength and support following the defection of numerous members from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP). His Excellency, the Deputy Senate President, Distinguished Senator Barau I. Jibrin, has played a pivotal role in this political shift, welcoming the decampees into the APC fold.
The mass defection of NNPP members to the APC is seen as a positive development for the party, which is steadily regaining its influence in Kano State. Many of the decampees have cited dissatisfaction with the current administration under Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf (popularly known as Abba Kano) as a key reason for their decision. Reports suggest that these individuals have faced challenges and neglect under the incumbent governor’s leadership, prompting them to seek refuge in the APC, which they believe offers a more promising political future.
This influx of former NNPP members into the APC is not just a boost in numbers but also a testament to the growing confidence in the party’s ability to reclaim Kano State in the 2027 elections. The defection wave is particularly significant as many of those crossing over were once staunch supporters of the Kwankwasiyya movement, led by former Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. Their departure from the NNPP and alignment with the APC underscores a weakening of the Kwankwasiyya influence and a consolidation of support around the APC.
Senator Barau Jibrin, who has been at the forefront of this political realignment, has earned widespread praise for his efforts in strengthening the APC’s position in Kano. His dedication to the party and his contributions to the development of the state, particularly through various infrastructural projects, have resonated with many Kano residents. The projects executed under his leadership have not only improved the state’s infrastructure but also solidified his reputation as a leader committed to the welfare of the people.
Amidst these developments, there has been a call from politicians in Kano for the APC’s national leadership, under the chairmanship of Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, to acknowledge and commend Senator Barau Jibrin’s tireless efforts. They urge the party leadership to continue supporting his initiatives, recognizing that his contributions are vital to the party’s progress and success in Kano.
Critics who have expressed concern about the acceptance of former Kwankwasiyya and PDP members into the APC have been met with a unified response from party members in Kano. The consensus is clear: the APC in Kano supports Senator Barau Jibrin’s actions and encourages him to continue his good work. By embracing these new members, the APC is not only expanding its base but also ensuring that it remains a formidable force in Kano politics.
As the 2027 elections approach, the APC’s renewed strength in Kano, bolstered by the leadership of Senator Barau Jibrin, positions the party as a strong contender to reclaim the state. The wave of defections and the increasing support for the APC signal a shift in Kano’s political landscape, one that could very well lead to a resounding victory for the party in the coming years.
