The member representing Bichi Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Abubakar Kabir-Bichi, says the late President Muhammadu Buhari would not have won the 2015 presidential election without the political support and strategic intervention of President Bola Tinubu.
Kabir-Bichi, stated this on Monday at Stakeholders’ meeting and inauguration of the All Progressives Congress (APC), 2027 Campaign Council Bichi Chapel in Bichi.
He insisted that the North owed Tinubu a debt of gratitude for approving execution of massive road construction and several developmental projects cutting across the region.
Kabir-Bichi noted that the time had come for the Northern political establishment to reciprocate Tinubu’s support by galvanizing votes for his second-term ambition.
He said political stakeholders in Kano North Senatorial District had resolved to mobilise at least one million votes for Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election
“Tinubu made the late President Buhari after several unsuccessful attempts to become President. It is now time for us to compensate Tinubu for what he did for the North,” Bichi declared.
Kabir-Bichi dismissed insinuations that Tinubu was pursuing policies deliberately targeted against Northern Nigeria, describing such allegations as insincere and politically motivated.
He argued that the President’s commitment to the development of Kano State, particularly through the approval of critical infrastructure projects, had demonstrated his genuine concern for the progress of the region.
“Those saying President Tinubu does not like the North are not sincere. We have decided to vote massively for the President because of his developmental support for Kano,” he said.
The APC chieftain acknowledged that several developmental projects being executed in Kano State would not have been possible without the support and intervention of the President.
According to him, Tinubu administration had continued to demonstrate its commitment to infrastructure development through approvals and other federal interventions that have positively impacted the state.
“President Tinubu’s approvals have brought several developmental projects to Kano. There is no way I would have delivered all these projects without his support,” Bichi stated.
He explained that the decision to support the President was not merely a political obligation but also a demonstration of gratitude for his contributions to the emergence of Buhari and his continued developmental interventions in Kano State.
” APC is determined not only to consolidate its political dominance in Kano North but also to ensure that the senatorial district delivers the highest number of votes for President Tinubu in the state.
“We are not just talking about Bichi or Kano North; we are talking about the whole 44 local government areas. We are talking about the whole of Kano, and we will get what we want,” Bichi declared” he said
The lawmaker disclosed that Kano North has approximately 1.3 million registered voters, stressing that party stakeholders have resolved to mobilise at least one million votes for the APC in the forthcoming elections.
Governor Abba Kabir-Yusuf urged the campaign council to deploy necessary strength and energy to deliver all APC candidates in Kano.
Kabir-Yusuf, represented by the Deputy Governor, Murtala Sule-Garo, cautioned the campaign team to avoid any act capable of threatening peace and tranquility of the residents of Kano North just and encouraged the APC supporters to embark on issue based strategy to convince electorates.
Also, the Director General, APC Presidential and Governorship campaign council in Kano, Abdullahi Tijjani-Gwarzo challenged the Bichi campaign team to explore grassroot mobilizers and youth support groups to galvanize massive support for APC.
While expressing optimism of success in the January 2027 presidential and Governorship elections in Kano, he urged the campaign team to shun violence and aggression capacity of frustrating the peace in Kano.
