The Senator representing Kano South, Suleiman Abdulrahman Kawu Sumaila, held a strategic meeting with key stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to strengthen party unity and consolidate political influence in the zone.
The meeting, which brought together about 950 party members, took place at the Coronation Hall in Kano Government House.
It focused on mobilization strategies and reaffirmed support for APC leadership and electoral successes in Kano South.
Prominent attendees included Kabiru Alhassan Rurum and Alhassan Ado Doguwa, along with state lawmakers, party executives, and grassroots leaders.
During the meeting, Senator Sumaila highlighted numerous developmental projects executed across Kano South, describing them as unprecedented in the area’s history.
He noted that the zone has witnessed major rehabilitation of bridges and drainage systems, as well as the construction and upgrading of key road networks.
He disclosed that approximately 5,000 boreholes have been provided to improve access to clean water, alongside a similar number of water pumping machines to ensure efficient supply.
The senator further revealed that over 300 tricycles (Adaidaita Sahu) will be distributed within the next two months to support youth empowerment and enhance transportation, benefiting many residents in the process.
In the education sector, he said no fewer than 450 students currently receive a monthly allowance of N10,000, while the healthcare system has been strengthened with the provision of about 1,500 hospital beds across Kano South.
On governance, Sumaila emphasized the need for a new approach to leadership, focusing on policies that accelerate development and improve citizens’ welfare.
He also commended the collaboration between himself, Rurum, and Doguwa in maintaining peace and security in the zone, attributing the relative stability to unity among leaders.
“Anyone opposing this APC structure does not mean well for the development of Kano State and Kano South,” he said.
The meeting concluded with a strong show of solidarity among attendees, with each of the 950 participants receiving N50,000 as transport reimbursement.
