Amalgamated associations under the banner of Coalition of Kano Indigenes in North East, with Dr Adamu Ahmad, as a Convener, passed a vote of confidence and commit their appreciation to the Deputy Senate President, Barau I. Jibrin, for responsive and responsible representation of his people. 

In a Communique issued after their Maiduguri stakeholders meeting at the weekend, signed by Dr Ahmad, they revealed that, with the creation of North West Development Commission, among other developmental strides by the Senator, "With a unified voice, we state that Distinguished Senator Barau Jibrin is doing well. As we are observing his efforts in the media. As some of us were in Kano for on the spot assessment. We have the numbers. We have the strategy. The time is now!

Adding that, "This strategic decision reflects our collective confidence in the leadership, vision, and integrity of Senator Barau Jibrin, whose unwavering dedication and practical developmental strides continue to inspire hope across the Northwest and beyond." 

The forum according to the Communique, "... comprises of professionals, elders, youth, women, traders, drivers, artisans, academics, students bodies and grassroots mobilizers. In light of the emerging political realities and the need for visionary leadership in Kano State." 

According to the Communique, the group is going round all the states that made up, North East, to have direct communication with their members, who cut across the entire region. As Maiduguri was the third state in the category they touched. 

Their unflinching support for Barau movement, among other representatives holding positions in Abuja, "... is driven by his track record as manifested in his hard work, commitment to good governance, genuine stride and advocacy for the Northwest Development Commission, his brain child, launching impactful initiatives like the Barau Maliya Agriculture Development Programme and championing inclusive policies that uplift all social groups."

They said they believe in a progressive Kano and a stronger North West under visionary leadership.

"We need very strong leader with a political will, to build a united, empowered, and politically conscious coalition of Kano indigenes that promotes inclusive governance, development, and sustainable progress through visionary leadership. We see all these qualities in Senator Barau," they insisted. 

Part of their mission on DSP, is to mobilize and galvanize support across all sections of Kano indigenes residing in the North East, for him. 

Dr Ahmed further revealed that, via the Communique, that they have reached an advance stage, with some strategic plans in the pipeline that are aimed to foster political education and grassroots mobilization across communities. To also bridge the gap between leadership and the people by supporting responsive governance.
