In the build-up to the August 16, 2025 bye-elections, the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, on Wednesday led members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in a mega rally across Bagwai and Shanono local government areas of Kano State.
Barau was accompanied by the Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, Yusuf Abdullahi Ata, Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations, Engr. Abubakar Kabir Abubakar Bichi, and other party stakeholders to mobilise support for APC candidates ahead of the polls.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed August 16 for bye-elections in Bagwai and Shanono, while a supplementary election will hold in Ghari (Kunchi) Local Government Area.
The rally attracted large crowds of party faithful, with APC leaders urging residents to turn out in large numbers to secure victory for the party.

Speaking at the event, Senator Barau said voting for APC candidate Ahmad Kadamu would strengthen Federal Government presence and projects in the area.
“Voting APC in the bye-election means laying the groundwork for victory in the 2027 gubernatorial and presidential elections,” Barau said.
The campaign train later moved to Ghari, where the APC flag was presented to the party’s candidate for the supplementary poll.
In his remarks, Engr. Bichi expressed confidence that the APC would clinch victory in the House of Assembly contests, citing the party’s performance at the federal level.
He said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had approved N10 billion for the construction of the Bichi–Bagwai/Shanono–Gwarzo federal road to ease the movement of farm produce, adding that the project was one of several commitments to the zone.
