The Jigawa State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has formally constituted its State Campaign Council as part of strategic measures to consolidate party structures, deepen grassroots mobilisation, and secure victory in the forthcoming 2027 General Elections.

The establishment of the council followed extensive consultations with party leaders across the state’s three senatorial districts and was approved by the APC State Working Committee.

Announcing the composition in a statement, APC Jigawa State Chairman, Ahmed Garba, disclosed that Governor Umar Namadi will serve as Chairman of the State Campaign Council.

To support the chairman and ensure broad-based leadership, four Deputy Chairmen were named: the deputy governor of the state, Aminu Usman; former Governor, Ali Sa’adu Birnin Kudu; former Governor, Saminu Turaki; and the APC State Chairman, Ahmed Garba.

To ensure equitable political representation and effective coordination across all zones, six Vice Chairmen were appointed to represent the three senatorial districts of Jigawa: Jigawa North-East: Muhammad Ibrahim (Vice Chairman I); Ibrahim Hassan Hadejia (Vice Chairman II) Jigawa South-West: Haruna Aliyu Dangyatin (Vice Chairman I) and Farouk Adamu Aliyu (Vice Chairman II) as well as Jigawa North-West: Isa Gerawa (Vice Chairman I) and Hajia Rabi Ishaq (Vice Chairman II).

Also, Lawan Yau Roni has been appointed Director-General of the Campaign Council. In this role, he will oversee the day-to-day coordination and execution of the campaign’s programme across the state.

According to the party leadership, the Campaign Council is tasked with providing strategic direction, coordinating campaign activities, and deepening engagement with supporters across all 27 Local Government Areas of Jigawa State.

Mr Garba emphasised that the team’s composition reflects the APC’s commitment to unity, inclusion, and collective leadership.

He urged all council members, party stakeholders, and loyalists to work with discipline and shared purpose to deliver a decisive victory at the polls.
