Abba Yusuf Leads Kano APC's 155-Member Campaign Council

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State has established a 155-member Campaign Advisory Council to enhance preparations for the 2027 presidential and governorship elections. Governor Abba Yusuf has been appointed as the chairman of this council, which was announced on Tuesday.

The council features prominent political figures, including former governors Ibrahim Shekarau and Abdullahi Ganduje, along with three former military administrators of the state: Habibu Shuaibu, Lawan Jafaru-Isa, and Yakubu Bako. APC State Chairman Umar Doguwa stated that the advisory body consists of key party leaders and elected officials who will provide strategic direction for the campaign.

Notable members include Deputy President of the Senate Barau Jibrin and Senators Kawu Sumaila and Rufa’i Hanga. Additionally, all APC candidates and House of Representatives members from Kano State are represented.

The council is tasked with offering strategic oversight for the operational 2027 Campaign Directorate, which will be announced later. This development follows the Independent National Electoral Commission's release of the final list of governorship candidates for Kano State, which includes Governor Yusuf.
