The atmosphere in Kano South Senatorial District is nothing short of celebratory as thousands of All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters, stakeholders, and ordinary citizens gathered to honor and applaud the distinguished Senator Abdurrahman Kawu Sumaila on the second anniversary of his resounding electoral victory and unprecedented service delivery.
Known affectionately by his supporters as the People’s Senator and revered by many as a Humanist and Saviour, Senator Kawu Sumaila’s emergence in 2023 marked a political turning point for the district. Before his assumption of office, Kano South was considered a region adrift — plagued by widespread poverty, infrastructural decay, youth unemployment, and healthcare challenges. The election of Kawu Sumaila, however, came like a bang through popular votes at a time when hope was in short supply.
Barely two years into his senatorial mandate, Senator Kawu Sumaila has distinguished himself as a reformer par excellence. Under his watch, Kano South has witnessed a significant turnaround across various sectors — from education and healthcare to agriculture, entrepreneurship, youth empowerment, infrastructure development, and women inclusion. His holistic and people-oriented approach has been hailed by analysts as “a model for legislative leadership in Nigeria.”

As the Senator marks his two-year anniversary, Kano South has also become a theater for political realignment. Prominent opposition party chieftains, including members of the State House of Assembly such as Hon. Hamza Massu, have defected en masse to the APC. This wave of defections is seen as a direct endorsement of Senator Sumaila’s leadership and a clear indication of the growing dominance of the ruling APC in Kano State and beyond.
Political commentators and analysts believe the mass exodus from opposition parties to the APC is a prelude to what is expected in the 2027 general elections. Some predict the elections may be a mere formality, with APC poised to sweep presidential, national assembly, gubernatorial, and local government polls, given its increasing acceptance and organizational cohesion.
The increasing strength of the APC and the goodwill of performing lawmakers like Senator Sumaila suggest a future political landscape heavily skewed in the party’s favor. Many view the Senator’s performance as not only consolidating APC’s hold on Kano South but also boosting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s nationwide political structure.
Independent political research, especially from academia, supports this outlook. Findings suggest that APC may not need complex campaign strategies akin to long-range warfare but can rely on its “guaranteed strike capability” — its performance-driven political arsenal that resonates with the electorate.
In recognizing his efforts, B.S. Dawaki commiserates with Senator Abdurrahman Kawu Sumaila — the man with an iron heart — for his patriotism, resourcefulness, and unyielding commitment to uplifting his people. His marshalling of resources and advocacy for the underprivileged are clear reflections of his selfless style of leadership.
As Kano South celebrates two years of progress under his stewardship, citizens and political observers alike are hopeful that the Senator’s patriotic gestures will continue to blossom, ushering in more development, inclusion, and political stability.
