Comrade Isyaku Abubakar Balan, a Senior Legislative Aide to the Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau Jibrin, has asserted that Senator Barau’s achievements in human development and community projects in Kabo Local Government and Kano North surpass those of former Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso during his time in the Senate.
Speaking to journalists in Kano, Balan highlighted Senator Barau’s numerous contributions, describing them as unprecedented.
“Barau has done so much for Kabo and Kano North that no sensible person can oppose him and support Kwankwaso.”
He emphasized that Senator Barau’s efforts in creating job opportunities are unprecedented, citing an instance where the senator facilitated jobs for 12 individuals in a single day, a feat he claims remains unmatched by Kwankwaso.
The legislative aide also praised Barau’s instrumental role in bringing the Federal Polytechnic to Kabo, which is now on course to be upgraded to a university.
He contrasted this with what he described as Kwankwaso’s lack of significant contributions to educational infrastructure in the area.
In terms of security, Balan noted that Senator Barau has made significant strides, including establishing a Police Service unit in his senatorial zone and providing vehicles and motorcycles for security personnel.
“These initiatives have directly enhanced community safety, while Kwankwaso has not done anything in the security sector.”
According to Balan Senator Barau’s developmental initiatives extend beyond security and education, with his efforts in ICT infrastructure, housing projects, and empowerment programs earning him widespread praise from residents.
The statement reflects the deep political rivalry between supporters of Barau and Kwankwaso, further intensifying debates over leadership and development in Kano State.
