APC gets new North-West executives

n n

The All Progressives Congress on Wednesday announced its North-West zonal executives, with Mr Garba Babawo of Kaduna State emerging as chairman of the zone.

n

Hadiza Alhaji of Sokoto State was named zonal woman leader, while Abdulhamid Moh’d of Kano State was reappointed as zonal youth leader.

n

Other appointments include Salisu Tsafe of Zamfara State as organising secretary, Mailafiya Mada of Zamfara State as publicity secretary, and Bashir Hussaini of Jigawa State as legal adviser.

n

The appointments, said to aim at strengthening the party’s structure in the North-West, coincided with the APC North-West Zonal Congress in Kaduna, where Governor Uba Sani positioned himself as a unifying force within the party.

n

Addressing delegates, Sani described the congress as a “powerful affirmation of the APC’s identity as a truly democratic and grassroots-driven political party,” emphasising that leadership is determined by transparent processes rather than hierarchy.

n

He welcomed new entrants into the party, including Governors Abba Yusuf of Kano State and Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State, describing their defection as “momentous” for the party’s national outlook.

n

Sani also defended President Bola Tinubu’s reform agenda, highlighting gains in agriculture, energy, and social interventions such as the student loan scheme.

n

The congress, attended by top political figures across the zone, ended with the emergence of Garba Babawo as the APC National Vice Chairman for the North-West through consensus.

n

Among dignitaries present were the Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas.

n

Also in attendance were Governors Yusuf, Dikko Radda, Aliyu Sokoto, Umar Namadi, and Dauda Lawal, alongside the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle.
