The All Progressives Congress (APC) youth leader for the Northwest, AbdulHamid Umar Muhammad, has called on opposition groups in Kano to support the Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau Jibrin, in his efforts to advance Kano’s development.

Muhammad said that the senator’s dedication to promoting Kano and strengthening the APC should not be misinterpreted as selfishness and instead, he called on critics to focus on joining Senator Barau’s mission to improve Kano State.

“Rather than cast aspersions, people should join hands with Barau to make Kano greater. His actions are a testament to his commitment to bringing Kano into the spotlight and are entirely free from sentiment,” he said.

According to him, Senator Barau’s approach, particularly in championing projects that boost infrastructure and attract talented youth into the APC, showed his genuine intent to enhance Kano’s future.

Muhammad further highlighted some of Senator Barau’s key initiatives over the past two years, including establishing a Federal University of Education in Bichi, securing a Federal Polytechnic in Kabo, and advocating for the North West Development Commission headquarters in Kano.

He stated that these achievements, along with Barau’s sponsorship of Kano’s youth for advanced studies in Artificial Intelligence abroad, were substantial contributions that focused on positioning Kano as a hub of opportunity and development.

“Senator Barau’s influence is felt statewide, as he is working tirelessly to unify party members and ensure the APC’s resilience. His achievements, though aimed at strengthening the party, are fundamentally about uplifting Kano and preparing it for a prosperous future,” he added.
