<p>A political pressure group, the Kano State Coalition for Good Governance, has publicly accused unnamed actors of orchestrating efforts to sabotage the anticipated 2027 re-election bid of Deputy Senate President, Barau I. Jibrin.</p><div class="2F6asZIc" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>Addressing journalists on Wednesda the Nigeria Union of Journalists secretariat in Kano , the coalition’s president, Mukhtar Gadanya, alleged that “disgruntled elements” within and outside Kano State are mobilizing resources to disrupt what he described as the “widely supported” political future of the senator representing Kano North Senatorial District.</p>
<p>The group said its members, drawn from all 44 local government areas of Kano State, convened the press conference to alert the public to what it termed a “dangerous and anti-democratic plot” aimed at denying constituents the continuation of Barau’s representation beyond 2027.</p>

<p>Gadanya claimed that certain political actors, including what he described as a “failed politician allegedly backed by external interests,” are preparing to challenge Barau through “dubious means” in the next general elections. According to him, the move is part of a broader strategy to destabilize Kano’s political landscape and undermine the senator’s growing national influence.</p>

<p>“We have credible information that significant resources have been deployed toward this agenda,” Gadanya said. “However, we remain confident that such efforts will fail given the overwhelming grassroots support enjoyed by Senator Barau.”</p>

<p>The coalition used the briefing to outline what it described as Barau’s legislative and developmental track record. It credited him with sponsoring or co-sponsoring nearly 50 bills in the Senate, including the establishment of the North West Development Commission.</p>
<p>Other achievements listed include the upgrade of the Federal College of Education in Kano to a university, the facilitation of the Federal University of Science and Technology in Kabo, and the expansion of educational opportunities through local and international scholarship programs.</p>
<p>The group also pointed to infrastructure and empowerment initiatives such as road construction, installation of solar streetlights, establishment of power projects in Bichi, Kabo, and Dawanau, as well as the annual distribution of thousands of bags of fertilizer to farmers across the senatorial district.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Gadanya suggested that Barau’s perceived effectiveness and rising profile could position him for higher leadership roles in the Senate if re-elected, a factor he believes may be driving opposition against him.</p>
<p>“There are clear indications that his performance has earned him national recognition, and this may be unsettling to some political interests,” he said.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>The coalition called on all political actors to respect democratic principles and refrain from actions that could incite instability. It urged stakeholders to allow voters in Kano North to determine their representation freely in 2027.</p>
<p>The group also expressed appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what it described as his continued support for Barau and Kano State.</p>
<p>“Any attempt to override the will of the people will not stand,” Gadanya concluded. “The people of Kano North remain resolute in their support for Senator Barau.”</p>
