Senator Sumaila Calls Out Thuggery Ahead of 2027 Elections

Senator Abdul’Rahman Kawu Sumaila, representing Kano South, expressed concerns about the detrimental effects of political thuggery and drug abuse on democracy ahead of the 2027 general elections. Speaking at a media forum organized by the Kano Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, he emphasized his commitment to a violence-free campaign, contrasting his approach with that of some other politicians.

Sumaila encouraged voters to select candidates based on their ability to deliver democratic benefits rather than their appearances. He is seeking re-election for a second term in the Senate, citing his record of executing 103 projects and interventions in the last three years, including the sinking of 6,090 tube wells across 16 local government areas and the revival of three dams: Tiga, Challawa, and Kafin Chiri.

He urged the electorate in Kano South to support him to continue his developmental efforts.
