The member representing Bichi Federal Constituency and Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriation, Hon. Abubakar Kabir Abubakar, has inaugurated the All Progressives Congress (APC) Campaign Council for Bichi Local Government Area ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The inauguration ceremony was held on Monday, 26 October 2026, at the prestigious Prestige Hall, located at the Kabiru Bichi Foundation office in Bichi Local Government Area, Kano State.
The campaign council is tasked with mobilising support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Kano State Governor, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, Hon. Abubakar Kabir Abubakar, and all APC candidates contesting seats in the State and National Assembly.
The council is chaired by Hon. Sani Mukaddas Bichi as Director-General, with a directorate comprising more than 26 committees.
Speaking at the inauguration, Honourable Abubakar charged the committees to intensify grassroots mobilisation across Kano North, with a target of securing more than 1.3 million votes for President Tinubu, Governor Yusuf, and other APC candidates in the 2027 general elections.
He also acknowledged the contributions of President Tinubu’s administration to the provision of projects and infrastructure in Bichi, Kano State, and northern Nigeria.
“Our target in Kano north is to deliver more than 1.3 million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, and all our APC candidates to ensure victory in the forthcoming general elections,” Abubakar Bichi said.
He further stressed the importance of supporting President Tinubu’s re-election, recalling the role played by the late President Muhammadu Buhari in Tinubu’s emergence as president from 2015 to 2023.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu contributed to the emergence of the late President Muhammadu Buhari as Nigeria’s president from 2015 to 2023, and now it is incumbent upon us to do everything necessary to work for President Tinubu’s re-election,” he added.
Speaking at the event, the Director-General of the Tinubu and Abba campaigns in Kano State, Abdullahi Tijjani Muhammad Gwarzo, called on party members to support and vote for all APC candidates in the forthcoming elections.
“If I am the Director-General of the Tinubu-Abba campaigns in Kano, I want to thank Almighty God that Hon. Abubakar Kabir Abubakar has reduced my workload by 50 per cent, particularly through his ability to organise such a gathering of political stakeholders from Kano North,” Gwarzo said.
Earlier, the Chairman of Bichi Local Government Area, Hamza Maifata Bichi, and the member representing Bichi Constituency in the Kano State House of Assembly, Lawan Shehu, praised Abubakar’s representation, describing it as commendable and impactful in promoting development across the area.
