Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris, has appointed former governor of the state, Sa’idu Usman Nasamu Dakingari, as Director-General of the All Progressives Congress (APC) 2027 Campaign Council ahead of the forthcoming general elections.
Dakingari’s appointment was announced during the inauguration of the state APC Campaign Council at the Presidential Lodge in Birnin Kebbi on Sunday.
Governor Idris charged members of the council to demonstrate commitment, dedication and unity in mobilising support for the party across the state.
He described Kebbi as an APC stronghold and urged party leaders and stakeholders to return to their respective communities to strengthen grassroots mobilisation and secure support for the party’s candidates at all levels.
Dakingari, who previously served as Kebbi governor and Nigeria’s Ambassador to Türkiye, expressed appreciation to Idris for the confidence reposed in him and other members of the council.
He pledged that the committee would work collectively and diligently to achieve the party’s objectives in the 2027 elections.
The APC State Chairman, Abubakar Kana-Zuru, also commended the governor for strengthening the party’s structures and called on campaign council members to remain committed to their responsibilities.
The appointment brings an experienced former state leader into the party’s campaign coordination as political activities gradually intensify ahead of the 2027 elections.
The development also highlights ongoing political mobilisation in Kebbi and the wider North-West region as parties begin consolidating their structures ahead of the next electoral cycle.
