Kano Politics: Ex-Minister Gwarzo makes u-turn on Senate bid, backs Barau
Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has brokered peace between two top figures of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano North ahead of the next election season.
The reconciliation meeting, held at the Kano Government House on Tuesday night, brought together former Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, Abdullahi Tijjani Gwarzo, and Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin.
The Director General of Media at the Kano Government House, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, confirmed the development in a statement issued on Wednesday morning.
According to the statement, the meeting ended with Gwarzo announcing his withdrawal from the senatorial race in support of Senator Barau Jibrin.
Also present at the meeting were Deputy Governor Murtala Sule Garo, former APC National Chairman Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations, Abubakar Kabir Bichi, and Kano APC Chairman, Umar Haruna Doguwa, among others.
The reconciliation is being viewed as a significant move toward strengthening APC unity in Kano North, where internal disagreements had raised concerns over possible divisions within the party.
By stepping down from the race, Gwarzo pledged loyalty to the party and expressed readiness to work with Barau Jibrin ahead of the forthcoming elections.
