2027: ADC’s Kano Guber Candidate Names Abdulkadir Bari Running Mate

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate in Kano State, Alhaji Ibrahim Alamin Little, has named Abdulkadir Shehu Bari as his running mate for the 2027 governorship election.

Little, who hails from Kano Central, said Bari, a native of Rogo Local Government Area in Kano North, was chosen as the party’s deputy governorship candidate.

The ADC candidate announced Bari’s selection while speaking with journalists in Kano on Sunday, as he outlined his key priorities ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Little said his administration, if elected, would prioritise education, healthcare, youth and women empowerment, as well as measures to tackle drug abuse among young people in the state.

He also pledged to introduce social welfare programmes aimed at supporting vulnerable residents, including widows, orphans and out-of-school children.

“Once we are ushered into the Kano Government House after the 2027 elections, we will ensure that we tackle the decay in the health sector and provide meaningful social welfare programmes for vulnerable members of society,” Little said.

He further promised to reform the state’s governance system to ensure that access to opportunities is based on merit rather than social or economic status.

According to him, the proposed administration would also promote innovation and entrepreneurship through the establishment of economic clusters across various sectors.

Little said the initiative would help transform Kano from a predominantly consumer-driven economy into a more productive one capable of creating jobs, generating wealth and improving the standard of living of residents.

He urged Kano residents to support the ADC, promising an inclusive government that would give citizens greater opportunities to participate in the development of the state.
