Barau Confident in Tinubu's 2027 Election Victory
On November 2, 2026, Jibrin Barau (Kano North), the Deputy President of the Senate, expressed strong confidence that President Bola Tinubu would win the 2027 presidential election. Speaking at the inauguration of campaign committees for Dawakin Tofa, Tofa, and Rimin Gado Local Government Areas in Kano State, Barau cited political analysts' assessments and the current political landscape in Nigeria.
He urged members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to unite and work towards the victory of all party candidates in the upcoming elections. Barau stated that the foundation laid by Tinubu during his first term would lead to positive outcomes in his second term.
He commended various stakeholders, including party leaders and local government officials, for their support of the APC and emphasized the need for sustained cooperation in Kano. Barau also noted the strategic move of Governor Abba Yusuf from the New Nigeria Peoples Party to the APC, which he believes enhances Kano's political relevance and development prospects.
