Senator Adamu Aliero has emerged as the All Progressives Congress (APC) flag bearer for Kebbi Central Senatorial District after securing the party’s senatorial ticket.
Announcing the result in Birnin Kebbi on Monday, the Chairman of the APC Primary Election Committee for Kebbi Central, Comrade Garba Muhammad, expressed satisfaction with the peaceful and orderly conduct of the exercise.
He commended stakeholders for ensuring a transparent and rancour-free primary process.
“Having fulfilled all the requirements of the law and APC regulations, I hereby declare Senator Adamu Aliero as the APC flag bearer for Kebbi Central Senatorial District,” Muhammad said.
In his remarks, Kebbi State Governor, Comrade Dr. Nasir Idris, thanked Almighty Allah for the smooth conduct of the exercise and praised the people of Kebbi State for their support and confidence in his administration.
He also lauded the reconciliation committee under the leadership of Ambassador Saidu Usman Nasamu, for persuading other aspirants to step down, thereby ensuring a peaceful resolution.
“The committee did a remarkable job. I thank Kabiru Giant for stepping down unconditionally for Senator Aliero. In Kebbi North, Dr. Hussaini Kangiwa stepped down for Senator Yahaya Abubakar-Abdullahi, while in Kebbi South, Senator Bala Ibn Na’Allah stepped down for Ja’afar Muhammad Gajere,” the Governor said.
“I thank all of them for placing the unity of the party above personal interest. This demonstrates that, by the grace of God, we will secure victory in all elective positions in 2027,” he added.
Governor Idris commended the APC State Chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Kana-Zuru, for providing leadership that has united party members across the state.
He reaffirmed his commitment to supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid, noting that Kebbi State had benefited immensely from numerous federal projects and programmes under the current administration.
“We have witnessed significant development under President Tinubu’s administration. We must not only deliver Kebbi State for him in 2027, but also secure overwhelming votes for him and all APC candidates at every level,” he said.
Earlier, the State APC Chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Kana-Zuru, recalled that two aspirants had initially contested for the Kebbi Central ticket — Senator Adamu Aliero and Alhaji Kabiru Giant. He explained that Kabiru Giant later withdrew from the race through a formal letter to the party, paving the way for Senator Aliero to emerge unopposed.
In his acceptance remarks, Senator Aliero thanked Almighty Allah for the opportunity to serve once again and appreciated Governor Idris for his role in reconciling aspirants and promoting unity within the party.
He pledged to provide quality representation to the people and urged all aspirants to unite with the winners to ensure victory for the APC in the 2027 general elections.
“Our cooperation and unity are critical to the success of the APC at all levels in the 2027 general elections,” he said.
