Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Jibrin Barau, has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu will win the 2027 presidential election, citing assessments by political analysts and the prevailing political situation in the country.

Barau spoke on Sunday at the inauguration of campaign committees for Dawakin Tofa, Tofa, and Rimin Gado Local Government Areas in Kano State, where he urged All Progressives Congress members to unite and work toward victory for all the party’s candidates in the forthcoming general elections.

According to a statement issued by his media aide, Ismail Mudashir, the senator said the foundation laid by Tinubu during his first term would yield 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 Ahmed Tinubu will win the presidential election,” he said.

Barau commended party leaders, elected representatives, local government chairmen, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and other stakeholders for their support for the APC, expressing confidence that the party’s unity and cooperation in Kano would be sustained.

He said Kano, which he described as one of the country’s largest states and second only to Lagos in the number of registered voters, deserved greater attention and development opportunities from the Federal Government.

The Deputy Senate President said Yusuf’s decision to move from the New Nigeria Peoples Party to the APC was a strategic step that had enhanced Kano’s political relevance and improved its prospects of attracting development.

He added that the alignment of the governor, local government chairmen, councillors, state lawmakers and members of the National Assembly under the APC would help translate the party’s political strength into tangible benefits for the people.

Barau said the forthcoming elections would provide an opportunity for elected representatives to contribute more to the development of their constituencies.

He explained that the campaign committees were constituted to include party leaders, executive members, former and serving lawmakers, councillors, local government chairmen, new members and respected elders.

He urged the committee members to mobilise voters and campaign vigorously for the party ahead of the elections.

“What is required of you is to play your part actively in securing victory. Mobilise, campaign and ensure that all APC candidates emerge victoriously from top to bottom. May Allah grant us success and enable us to achieve our goals,” he said.
