Former Kano officials meet deputy senate president Barau Jibrin in Abuja

Dr. Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, the former Secretary to the Kano State Government, and Muhammad Diggol, the state’s former Commissioner for Project Monitoring and Evaluation, recently visited Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin in Abuja.

Barau, a key figure in the All Progressives Congress (APC), shared photos from the meeting on his official Facebook page, highlighting the importance of collaboration in fostering development.

“The development of our state and the country is always at the top of our agenda. We will continue to collaborate with other stakeholders to advance our state and nation,” he stated.

Reports suggest that Bichi, who ran against Barau in the 2023 Kano North senatorial election under the New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP), is reportedly considering a switch to the APC alongside other political allies.

In recent months, several high-profile NNPP members have left the party to join the APC, adding weight to the ongoing defection rumours.
