The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress will easily win the 2027 general elections in Kano State.
He said key political figures like the special adviser to the president on national assembly matters, Basheer Lado; the deputy president of the Senate, Barau Jibrin; and the national chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, will make the victory seamless.
He described Mr Lado’s performance as unprecedented, particularly in maintaining confidentiality in presidential communications to the Senate.
He said: “Ahead of 2027, we are confident that with Senator Barau, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, and your strategic self, Kano is already in the kitty of APC.
“Let me put on record that since Senator Lado assumed office as Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on National Assembly [Senate Matters], we have not had a single leakage of private communication between the Presidency and the Senate,” Mr Akpabio asserted.
“We have not had a single incident of leakage. In government, that’s what we call the right to know. And of course, where government business is done on pages of newspapers and on social media through leakages of information, it negatively rubs on national security.”
He also appreciated Mr Lado for his role in ensuring the smooth flow of communication between the executive and the legislature.
“Your performance in office generally in the last eight months is unprecedented and making the synergy between the executive and legislature more robust and rewarding for the good of all,” Mr Akpabio added.
In his remarks, the presidential aide expressed gratitude for Mr Akpabio’s leadership and support, highlighting the vital role the Senate President plays in advancing the President’s agenda.
He said: “Mr Senate President, your presence here is not only symbolic of the harmony between the executive and the legislature; it is a testament to the power of unity, the strength of shared vision, and the boundless possibilities when leadership is anchored on service,” Mr Lado said.
“In you, Mr. President has found not only a dependable ally but a statesman who understands the delicate art of governance and the importance of cooperation over confrontation.
“You have not merely walked alongside the President; you have championed his Renewed Hope Agenda with conviction, defending it with clarity and advancing it through legislative action.”
