Jigawa APC faithful rally behind Sankara for 2027 rep seat | Newskeeper
By Muhammad Salisu
In a groundswell of support, thousands of APC members from Jigawa's Ringim/Taura Federal Constituency urged Commissioner Hon. Auwal Dalladi Sankara to contest the House of Representatives in 2027, hailing him as the savior from years of lackluster leadership.
It could be recalled that Auwalu Sankara, son of former Senator Danladi Sankara who represented the Jigawa North West senatorial constituency from 1999 to 2003 and from 2015 to 2023 respectively, is currently serving as the Jigawa State Commissioner for Special Duties and Humanitarian Affairs, where he's earned praise for his dedicated public service.
The endorsement erupted on Sunday, November 16, 2025, during a lively Government-Citizens Engagement forum in Taura Local Government, drawing crowds from all 20 political wards.
Supporters packed the venue, chanting Sankara's name and waving banners, signaling a bold push to reshape the constituency's future at the National Assembly.
Groups from across the area voiced their plea, spotlighting Sankara's track record as Jigawa's Commissioner for Special Duties and Humanitarian Affairs.
Ibrahim Sani from Majiya Ward led the charge, telling reporters: "We want a sharp, dedicated rep who'll pull in big projects and real benefits for our people."
He slammed past National Assembly members for empty promises, adding: "This time, we need someone proven—like Hon. Sankara, with his heart for service and unyielding commitment."
Sani praised Sankara's standout work, saying: "As commissioner, he's shone bright, winning Governor Namadi's trust, State Executive Council nods, and statewide love as 'Jakadan Alkhairi'."
To seal the deal, Sani vowed: "We'll team up with fellow patriots to convince him, even lobbying the governor and party bigwigs if needed."
Echoing the call, Sani Shawai from Taura stepped up, announcing: "We're ready to fundraise for his 2027 nomination form—it's our rescue op from bad reps."
Shawai blasted current leaders as "amateurs blind to folks' pains," declaring: "They can't match Governor Umar Namadi's stellar style, we're breaking free now."
