ABUJA — Ahead of the 2027 presidential and general elections, Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau Jibrin (APC, Kano North), has urged constituents in his senatorial district to remain united and support President Bola Tinubu, Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, himself and other candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Barau made the call at the National Assembly while receiving two delegations from Dambatta Local Government Area of Kano North Senatorial District.

He also disclosed that one of his ongoing empowerment initiatives provides N100,000 in start-up capital to 1,300 petty traders, artisans and other beneficiaries every month.

A statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir, said the delegations comprised representatives from the 21 wards of Dambatta LGA, led by Hon. Hafiz Sani Maidaji, a former three-term member of the Kano State House of Assembly, and another group led by Barau’s Senior Legislative Aide in Dambatta, Alhaji Abdullahi Dan Bayero.

According to the statement, the groups visited the Deputy President of the Senate to appreciate him for various projects, empowerment programmes and other interventions being implemented across Kano North.

The initiatives include the monthly provision of N100,000 start-up capital to 1,300 petty traders, artisans and other beneficiaries, as well as the distribution of fertilisers, water pumps, grinding machines, sewing machines, motorcycles, refrigerators and other support items.

Barau assured the people of Dambatta and Kano North that his commitment to their development remained unwavering.

He said he would continue to support programmes in empowerment, education, agriculture, infrastructure and other areas aimed at improving the livelihoods of his constituents.

The Deputy President of the Senate said: “I appeal to all of us to remain united. Let us continue to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, myself as your Senator, and all candidates of the APC contesting the 2027 elections.

“With unity, loyalty and collective commitment, we can achieve a more prosperous Kano North and a stronger Nigeria.
