Kano’s call for Senate Presidency

Kano, as the largest commercial and industrial hub of Northern Nigeria, has played a significant role in the country’s economic and political landscape. Despite its importance, Kano has yet to produce a civilian president, vice president or Senate president. 

In light of these facts, it is only reasonable to conclude that Kano deserves a chance to produce a Senate president in the upcoming 10th Assembly.

The 10th Assembly brings about a fresh political outlook for the North and Nigeria at large, and it is imperative that the Senate president be someone who understands the political terrain and is capable of steering the ship of the Senate towards meaningful progress. Senator Barau Jibrin, a seasoned politician and legislator, is the perfect answer to Kano’s call for a Senate president.

Senator Jibrin is an experienced politician who has been in the National Assembly since 2015, representing Kano North Senatorial District. He has held several positions, including Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, where he played a critical role in the passage of the 2019 budget.

He has also served as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Gas, where he championed the passage of the Gas Flaring Prohibition Bill and the National Gas Expansion Programme Bill.

Senator Jibrin’s leadership qualities, coupled with his vast knowledge of the legislative process and his experience in managing complex issues, make him the ideal candidate for the Senate Presidency. He is a man of integrity, with a deep understanding of the issues affecting his constituents and the country at large.

Kano deserves to produce the Senate president in the upcoming 10th Assembly, and Senator Barau Jibrin is the perfect candidate to lead the Senate to meaningful progress. With his experience, leadership qualities, and integrity, Senator Jibrin is the answer to Kano’s call for a Senate President.
