<p>&#8221; Kano people are waiting for you to declare for the governorship race. We recently organised an event, where we asked you to declare. You are yet to. The people of Kano are anxiously awaiting your declaration. When are you declaring? Please answer the call to serve our people,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Also, the former Chairman of ALGON, Baffa Mohammed Takai, who led his colleagues on the courtesy call, said they adopted Senator Barau in view of his outstanding performance in parliament, adding that his contributions to Kano&#8217;s development are immense.</p>
<p>&#8221; We are here to throw our weight behind you. We are 100 per cent with you. Insha&#8217;Allah, you will be the next governor of Kano State, come May 29, 2027. You have the capacity to address the challenges facing our state,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Responding, the Deputy President of the Senate thanked the former local government chairmen for their support, describing them as grassroots politicians.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s indeed true that Kano was second to Lagos before, in terms of development, in terms of commerce and so on. Unfortunately, Kano is now trailing behind due to a lack of good leadership. Let us not live in denial. This is a fact that we must all work together to address in the interest of our people and state.</p>
<p>&#8220;I wish to assure you that by the grace of God, we will take bold steps to bring Kano back to its glorious days. We will succeed by the grace of God. We will always stand by the truth and for our people,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>* Tsanyawa, Ghari stakeholders endorse Barau</p>
<p>Meanwhile, stakeholders from Tsanyawa and Ghari LGAs of Kano State have also thrown their weight behind Senator Barau&#8217;s candidature during their visit to him on Wednesday.</p>
<p>A member of the Kano State House of Assembly, Hon. Garba Yau Gwarmai, representing Tsanyawa/Ghari, moved the motion, which Hon. Aminu Yakanawa seconded. A thunderous ovation from over 100 stakeholders in attendance followed the announcement of the endorsement.</p>
<p>Yakanawa told the Deputy President of the Senate that the people of the two local government areas are solidly behind him.</p>
<p>&#8221; By the grace of Allah SWT, you are the next governor of Kano State. Our people are solidly behind you, and we are committed to supporting you,&#8221; he said</p>
<p>Responding, Senator Barau thanked them for the support, saying the massive support from all the people of the state is a signal of what will happen in 2027.</p>
<p>On the security challenges facing some parts of Tsanyawa and Shanono LGAs, he said, &#8221; We are not leaving any stone unturned in tackling this challenge. We are working underground to bring an end to it. We have taken all the necessary steps. It is not something that we go to radio stations to announce.&#8221;</p>
