During the inauguration, Governor Yusuf charged members of the campaign council to conduct issue-based campaigns, urging APC candidates to focus on projects delivered for the benefit of the people and their plans for the future rather than resorting to insults and personal attacks.

The governor described members of the council as the party’s foot soldiers, tasked with securing victory for Tinubu, himself and other APC candidates across all levels.

He said the appointments were based on merit and the appointees’ capacity to mobilise voters, urging them to work tirelessly to ensure the party’s success in the forthcoming elections.

Responding on behalf of other members, the Director-General of the campaign council, Abdullahi Tijjani Gwarzo, pledged their commitment to securing victory for Tinubu, Governor Yusuf and all APC candidates.

He called for the cooperation of all council members, regardless of their positions, stressing the need for collective efforts to achieve the party’s electoral objectives.

Tijjani Gwarzo also said the council would seek divine intervention and embark on grassroots mobilisation across the state to secure massive votes for APC candidates.

Earlier, the Kano State APC Chairman, Haruna Doguwa, said Kano was among the first states in Northern Nigeria to inaugurate its campaign council ahead of the 2027 general elections.
