Kebbi State Governor, Dr. Nasir Idris, officially inaugurated the All Progressives Congress (APC) 2027 Campaign Council on Sunday, November 8, 2026, charging committee members to dedicate themselves to securing a total victory for all party candidates in the forthcoming general elections.
The high-profile inauguration took place at the Presidential Lodge in Birnin Kebbi, bringing together key party leaders, government officials, and political stakeholders from across the state.
​Addressing the gathering, Governor Idris described Kebbi State as an unshakable stronghold of the APC and tasked members of the council to return to their local communities to mobilize massive support.
He emphasized that securing victories across all elective positions, including for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, state governorship candidates, members of the National Assembly, and candidates for the State House of Assembly, remains a top priority given the extensive federal projects and democracy dividends spread across the state.
The governor expressed his honor in launching the council and wished all appointed members the very best as they begin their work.
​The council will be chaired by former Kebbi State Governor and Nigeria’s Ambassador to Turkey, Ambassador Saidu Usman Nasamu Dakingari, who also serves as its Director-General.
In his acceptance speech, Ambassador Dakingari expressed gratitude for the trust reposed in the committee, pledging that the council would work diligently to replicate the victory recorded in the 2023 elections.
He further urged party supporters across the state to turn out en masse to collect their voter cards, describing them as essential tools to secure victory in 2027.
​Party leadership and government representatives echoed these sentiments during the ceremony. APC Kebbi State Chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Kana-Zuru, commended Governor Idris for his steadfast leadership and dedication to party unity while urging committee members to stay focused and work collectively toward a decisive outcome.
Additionally, official communications released by Ibrahim Abubakar Jombali, Special Adviser on Public Enlightenment and Orientation to the Executive Governor, highlighted the administration’s resolve to deliver quality governance while strengthening the party’s grassroots support ahead of the upcoming electoral cycle.
