Kano Rep, Dambazau, Back North West Zone For Senate President

A member of the House of Representatives from Kano State and son of former minister of interior, Abdurahman Dambazau, Shasudeen Dambazau, has urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) to zone position of the Senate President to the North West geopolitical zone. 

The younger Dambazau who representsTakai/Sumaila federal constituency of Kano State in a terse statement hinted that the chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, Barau Jibrin, should be considered for the position. 

He explained that those who are rooting for Jibrin who represent Kano North senatorial district to become the next President of the Senate, believe in his capacity and capability to steer the wheel of the federal parliament towards the path of growth and stability for our dear country, as envisioned by the founding fathers of the ruling APC.

“We, who are rooting for Senator Barau Jibrin to become the next President of the Senate, believe in his capacity and capability to steer the wheel of the federal parliament towards the path of growth and stability for our dear country, as envisioned by the founding fathers of the ruling All Progressives Congress.

“Jibrin is not only an experienced parliamentarian having been elected for a third term but also a seasoned administrator, a quality he has shown as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations. It is worth noting that Jibrin has been in charge of the federal government’s budget in the Senate when the 9th National Assembly returned the country’s budget cycle to January-December, which greatly helped President Mumammadu Buhari-led administration in achieving its economic goals. Indeed, his loyalty to the APC government and party is exemplary,” he said.

According to Dambazau, the 10th National Assembly needs a leader like Jibrin who has garnered knowledge and experience from within and outside Nigeria, going by his academic records and qualifications.

“Jibrin is representing Kano North Senatorial District in Kano State, the biggest state in the North-West geopolitical zone, which has consistently voted for the APC and its candidates, from President Muhammadu Buhari to President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“While leaders and members of the APC, especially in the National Assembly, are waiting for the ruling party’s direction in terms of zoning of the parliamentary leadership positions, it is our strong belief that it will be strategic for the party to zone the position of Senate President to the North-West. This will help in building on the party’s presence in the zone, especially in Kano and other states where the opposition parties have occupied,” he added.
