2027: Jigawa APC Polling Units Chairmen Back Sankara for Reps Seat
By: Ahmed Aminu, Dutse
The All Progressives Congress (APC) Polling Units Chairmen Forum in Ringim/Taura Federal Constituency, have endorsed the Commissioner for Special Duties and Humanitarian Affairs, Hon. Auwal Dalladi Sankara to contest for House of Representatives seat in 2027.
The endorsement was made during a solidarity rally held in Taura on the sidelines of Government–Citizens Engagement Forum organised by the state government.
According to the forum’s chairman, Malam Ibrahim Sani Majiya, the decision was unanimously taken by all the polling unit chairmen in the constituency.
“We, the APC Polling Units Chairmen of Ringim/Taura Federal Constituency, have unanimously endorsed Hon. Auwal Danladi Sankara for the House of Representatives seat in 2027,” he said.
Sani explained that the forum deliberately chose the venue and timing of the rally to publicly appeal for Governor Umar Namadi’s support.
He said the endorsement was driven by a collective desire for a more competent, responsive, and development-focused representation capable of attracting federal projects and democratic dividends to the constituency.
“Our decision followed our desire for a more competent and effective representation. We are confident that Hon. Auwal OC will deliver successfully,” Sani stated.
He lamented that past representatives had failed to make meaningful impact, adding that the constituency now yearns for a leader with proven commitment, compassion, and performance.
“As Commissioner for Special Duties, Hon. Sankara has distinguished himself through outstanding services. This has earned him Governor Namadi’s confidence, recognition from the State Executive Council, and widespread popularity. That is why he is celebrated as ‘Jakadan Alkhairi’ across Jigawa State,” he added.
Sani further assured that he and other constituents would mobilise support to persuade Sankara to accept their call, even if it requires appealing directly to the governor and other political stakeholders.
Similarly, another stakeholder, Sani Shawai from Taura, said that the group was prepared to purchase the 2027 nomination form for Sankara.
According to him, their decision is a “rescue mission” aimed at reversing years of poor representation of the constituency in the National Assembly
“This is a rescue mission. We are determined to liberate the constituency from amateur politicians who do not care about the people’s plight and who have failed to emulate Governor Umar Namadi’s exemplary leadership,” he said.
