A new leadership has emerged in Kano State following the State Congress of the All Progressives Congress (APC) held Tuesday night, where party executives were selected through a consensus arrangement.
The convention, held at the Sani Abacha Indoor Stadium, brought together about 2,400 delegates drawn from the 44 local government areas of the state, alongside prominent party leaders and stakeholders. It was revealed that at the end of the exercise, Umar Haruna Doguwa was returned as the state chairman of the party, marking his comeback to the position after previously serving in the same capacity about a decade ago.
Chairman of the Congress Committee, Rabiu Suleiman Bichi, declared that all positions were filled by consensus, noting that the process was peaceful and widely endorsed by delegates.
Other members of the newly constituted executive include Salisu Maje Ahmed Gwangwazo as Deputy Chairman; Prof. Yusuf Muhammad Sabo Bichi as Secretary; and Prof. Nura Yaro Dawakin Tofa as Assistant Secretary.
Also elected were Abdul Adamu Fage as Legal Adviser; Barrister Bashir Tudun Wuzirci as Assistant Legal Adviser; Kabiru Sule Rogo as Treasurer; Ma’aruf Abdullahi Garo as Financial Secretary; and Dr. Kabiru Hussaini Zawaciki as Organising Secretary.
Auwalu Abdullahi Sani Mainage emerged as Publicity Secretary, Bashir Maisango as Welfare Secretary, and Abubakar Salisu Makoda as Auditor.
Similarly, Fatima Abdullahi Dala was elected Women Leader, while Salisu Yahaya Hotoro became Youth Leader, assisted by Musaddiq Wada Waziri.
The oath of office was administered by Letep Dabang, who charged the new executives to remain committed to the party’s constitution and promote unity within its ranks.
However, Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, congratulated the new leadership and described the peaceful conduct of the congress as a demonstration of political maturity.
