APC sets up campaign council in Kano for 2027 elections

The Kano State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) announced a new 155-member Campaign Advisory Council on Tuesday. This council will guide campaign efforts for the 2027 presidential and governorship elections in the state.

Governor Abba Yusuf will lead the council as its chairman. The team includes notable figures like former Governors Ibrahim Shekarau and Abdullahi Ganduje. Also part of the council are three former military administrators from the state: Habibu Shuaibu, Lawan Jafaru-Isa, and Yakubu Bako.

Umar Doguwa, the chairman of Kano State APC, highlighted that the council includes important members. This includes Deputy President of the Senate, Barau Jibrin, Senators Kawu Sumaila and Rufa’i Hanga. All APC candidates and members of the House of Representatives from Kano State are also part of this advisory body.

The Advisory Council will oversee the operational 2027 Campaign Directorate. This campaign group will be formed and announced later.

This announcement came just three days after Governor Yusuf and 16 others were listed as governorship candidates in the state. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) released this final list on Saturday.
