The African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate in Kano State, Alhaji Ibrahim Alamin Little, has announced Abdulkadir Shehu Bari as his running mate for the 2027 governorship election.

Little, who is from Kano Central, said Bari, a native of Rogo Local Government Area in Kano North, was selected as his deputy governorship candidate.

Speaking with journalists in Kano on Sunday, Little outlined his administration’s priorities if elected governor in the 2027 general elections.

He said his government would focus on improving education and healthcare, empowering youths and women, and addressing drug abuse among young people in the state.

According to him, the proposed administration would introduce social welfare programmes to support vulnerable groups, including widows, orphans and out-of-school children.

“Once we are ushered into the Kano Government House after the 2027 elections, we will ensure that we tackle the decay in the health sector and provide meaningful social welfare programmes for vulnerable members of society,” Little said.

The ADC candidate also promised to reform the state’s governance system to ensure that opportunities are accessible to citizens based on merit, regardless of their social or economic background.

He said his administration would promote innovation and entrepreneurship by establishing economic clusters across different sectors.

Little explained that the initiative would be designed to move Kano from a predominantly consumer-driven economy towards a more productive economy capable of creating jobs, generating wealth and improving residents’ living standards.

He urged Kano residents to support the ADC, promising to promote inclusive governance and provide citizens with opportunities to participate in the development of the state.
