Thousands of members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the 21 Local Government Areas of Kebbi State on Thursday converged at the Haliru Abdu Stadium, Birnin Kebbi, to unanimously affirm Governor Nasir Idris, popularly known as Kauran Gwandu, as the party’s sole governorship candidate for the 2027 general elections.
The colourful and historic affirmation congress attracted prominent party stalwarts and political leaders, including former Governors of Kebbi State  Muhammadu Adamu Aliero, Sa’idu Usman Nasamu Dakingari, and Abubakar Atiku Bagudu as well as serving and former Deputy Governors, Ministers, members of the National and State Assemblies, local government chairmen, councillors, and thousands of APC supporters from across the state.
Addressing the mammoth crowd, the Chairman of the Electoral Committee and former Deputy Governor of Bauchi State, Abdulmalik Muhammad, described the level of unity and solidarity displayed by APC members in Kebbi State as unprecedented.

According to him, the committee’s assignment was made easy because party members had already spoken with one voice in support of Governor Nasir Idris.

“This is the only state where I have witnessed such enormous support and overwhelming unity behind a leader,” he stated.

He commended the peaceful conduct of the exercise and the massive participation of party faithful, noting that the Kebbi APC had demonstrated uncommon loyalty, discipline, and commitment to the party and its leadership.

Hon. Abdulmalik Muhammad subsequently sought the consent of party members to officially present the Certificate of Return to Governor Nasir Idris as the party’s sole governorship candidate for 2027  a move that received thunderous approval from the crowd.

He praised APC members in Kebbi State for their steadfast commitment to unity, stability, and the continued growth of the party.

Earlier, the Kebbi State APC Chairman, Abubakar Kana Zuru, explained that the affirmation exercise was a continuation of the overwhelming endorsement earlier expressed by party members across the 225 wards of the state.

He noted that Governor Nasir Idris had earned the confidence and support of the people through purposeful leadership, inclusive governance, and remarkable developmental achievements recorded across Kebbi State.

According to him, the overwhelming endorsement by party stakeholders and supporters reflected the trust and confidence reposed in Governor Idris by both the people of Kebbi State and the APC family.

“We are here to complete what we started to return Governor Idris for a second term come 2027,” Kana Zuru declared.

At the peak of the event, the Chairman of the Electoral Committee, Hon. Abdulmalik Muhammad, alongside the State APC Chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Kana Zuru, raised the hands of Governor Nasir Idris before the jubilant crowd, formally presenting and affirming him as the APC governorship candidate for the 2027 general elections.

In his acceptance speech, Governor Nasir Idris expressed profound gratitude to Almighty Allah, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, APC leaders, and the people of Kebbi State for the confidence and support extended to him.

He described the gathering as a clear demonstration of unity, loyalty, and collective commitment to the progress, peace, and stability of Kebbi State.

The Governor particularly appreciated the support, guidance, and encouragement of former governors and senior party leaders, stressing that their collective efforts had continued to strengthen the APC in Kebbi State and across the country.

Governor Idris pledged to continue serving the people with dedication and sincerity while sustaining the developmental strides already recorded under his administration.

He further assured party members and the people of Kebbi State that he would continue to justify the trust placed in him through impactful governance and people-oriented policies, while also supporting the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the overall development of Nigeria.
