The delegation from Ghari was led by Alhaji Zubairu Gwambaza and the local government chairman, Hon. Hashimu Garba Mai Sabulu. Alhaji Sunusi Gwarmai, Galadiman Ghari, and other stakeholders pledged to mobilise support for the APC at all levels.
Mai Sabulu said members of the delegation had embraced the APC SAK campaign, while Senator Barau commended his leadership and assured the stakeholders of his continued support. He also donated two vehicles and N100,000 to each member of the delegation, according to the account of the meeting.
The engagement also witnessed the defection of Baba Ali from Tsanyawa and Yusuf Manya from Ghari, alongside their supporters, from the Kwankwasiyya political movement.
Separately, constituents from Tsanyawa, led by Nuraddeen Dini, reaffirmed their commitment to the APC campaign. Former member of the House of Representatives for Kunchi/Tsanyawa Federal Constituency, Hon. Safiyanu Harbau, also joined the APC SAK campaign.
Senator Barau subsequently met members of AKY Mafarauta Kano North, led by its chairman, Mamuda Usman Goje. The hunters’ leader commended the senator’s interventions, describing them as a significant turnaround for Kano North Senatorial District.
The engagements form part of Senator Barau’s ongoing consultations with political stakeholders, community leaders and organised groups across the district.
He thanked the three delegations for their solidarity and commitment, stressing the importance of cooperation among stakeholders in pursuing community development and strengthening the party’s grassroots structures.
The meetings underscore the continuing political mobilisation in Kano North ahead of 2027, with party leaders seeking to consolidate support across local government areas and engage influential community groups.
Senator Barau expressed optimism about the campaign’s prospects, pledging to sustain engagements with constituents and work with stakeholders towards the development of Kano North.
