The All Progressives Congress (APC) has affirmed Senator Muhammad Aliero as its candidate for Kebbi Central ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In Kebbi South, retired Major-General Jafar Gajere emerged as the APC consensus candidate for the Zuru senatorial seat.

Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris facilitated the consensus arrangement as the party conducted its nationwide senatorial primaries for the 2027 elections.

At the affirmation event for Kebbi Central at Haliru Abdu Stadium in Birnin Kebbi, the Chairman of the Affirmation Committee and Chief of Staff to the Governor, Attahiru Maccido, asked delegates to approve Aliero’s candidacy through a voice vote, which they endorsed.

Party leaders, including Idris and senior APC officials, attended the event.

Speaking after the exercise, Aliero pledged renewed commitment to his constituents and stressed the need to tackle insecurity as a foundation for development.

He commended Idris for supporting security agencies and expressed confidence that the APC would perform strongly in Kebbi State in the 2027 elections.

He added that the party remains united and focused on improving the welfare of residents across the state.
