Kebbi State Governor, Comrade Dr. Nasir Idris (Kauran Gwandu), has formally inaugurated the state’s All Progressives Congress (APC) 2027 Campaign Council, charging its leadership and members to demonstrate total commitment, dedication, and unity to ensure the party secures complete victory in the 2027 general elections.
​The inauguration ceremony took place on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at the Presidential Lodge in Birnin Kebbi, bringing together key political leaders, government officials, and party stakeholders from across the state.
​Governor Idris announced former Governor of Kebbi State and Nigeria’s Ambassador to Turkey, Ambassador Saidu Usman Nasamu Dakingari, as the Chairman and Director-General of the Campaign Council.
​Describing Kebbi State as an unassailable APC stronghold, Governor Idris stressed that securing victory across all elective positions—including the presidency for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the state governorship, and seats in the National and State Assemblies—is essential for sustaining development initiatives and federal projects in the state.
​”I have the honour and privilege of inaugurating this campaign council for the 2027 General Elections, which will be headed by the former Governor of Kebbi State and Nigeria’s Ambassador to Turkey, His Excellency, Ambassador Saidu Usman Nasamu Dakingari. I wish all members the very best of luck,” Governor Idris stated.
​The Governor urged stakeholders to immediately return to their respective local government areas, wards, and polling units to mobilize voter support and highlight the democratic dividends delivered across Kebbi State.
​Accepting the mandate on behalf of the newly constituted council, Ambassador Saidu Usman Nasamu Dakingari expressed gratitude for the appointment and pledged to replicate the party’s success from the 2023 general elections.
He emphasized that the council is fully committed to delivering on its assignment, calling on APC supporters across the state to turn out en masse to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) ahead of the polls, which he described as the vital tool for securing victory.
​Echoing these sentiments, the Kebbi State APC Chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Kana-Zuru, commended Governor Idris for his steadfast leadership and commitment to party unity. He urged committee members to work harmoniously, stay dedicated, and intensify grassroots mobilisation to guarantee a total victory for the party.
