NDC Candidate Nasir Garo Challenges Barau Jibrin's Claims

Nasir Garo, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate for the Kano North Senatorial District in the upcoming 2027 election, asserted during a town hall meeting in Danbatta that the incumbent Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau Jibrin, is not from the Kano North Senatorial District. Garo alleged that Jibrin previously contested and won a House of Representatives seat in Tarauni Local Government Area, which falls under Kano Central, not Kano North.

He claimed that from 1999 to 2023, Jibrin's political base has been outside Kano North, leading to a lack of sensitivity to the district's needs. Garo criticized Jibrin's tenure, stating that his position should have resulted in more development for Kano North, yet it has not.

He pointed to the abandoned Gwarzo-Dayi Federal road and the failure to rehabilitate the Ghari Dam as significant shortcomings. Garo promised to focus on completing abandoned projects and enhancing federal presence in the region if elected.
