The Minister of Works, Senator Engr. David Umahi, has described the massive turnout recorded during the recent All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election in Kano State as a strong demonstration of support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and key political leaders in the state.
Umahi gave the commendation while congratulating the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation, Rt. Hon. Abubakar Kabir Abubakar, over his success in the APC primary election.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Francis Nwaze, the minister said the victory presents another opportunity for the lawmaker representing Bichi Federal Constituency to continue supporting policies and programmes targeted at national development and economic growth.
According to Umahi, the overwhelming turnout witnessed during the exercise reflects the confidence and support the people of Kano State continue to show towards President Tinubu, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, Deputy President of the Senate Senator Jibrin Barau, former Kano State Governor Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, and other APC stakeholders in the state.
“The massive turnout witnessed during his recent outing is clear evidence of the support and confidence the people of Kano State have continued to show for Mr. President, His Excellency Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR; the Governor of Kano State, His Excellency Abba Kabir Yusuf; the Deputy President of the Senate, His Excellency Senator Jibrin Barau; Rt. Hon. Abubakar Kabir Abubakar; the former Governor of Kano State, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, CON; and indeed the good people of Kano State,” Umahi stated.
The minister further reaffirmed that the Renewed Hope agenda remains a strong pillar for national transformation and sustainable development across the country.
He also described Rt. Hon. Abubakar as a “dear brother and friend,” while wishing him greater success in his political journey.
