Barau Calls on Disappointed APC Primary Candidates to Rally Behind Party for 2027

Deputy Senate President Jibrin Barau addressed the National Assembly on Thursday, urging members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who were defeated in the party’s recent primaries to accept the results and unite behind the party’s slate for the 2027 elections. Barau said that the primary process had been fair and that the party’s future success depended on collective effort rather than individual grievances. He called on the aggrieved aspirants to shift their focus from personal disappointment to the broader goal of securing victory for the APC in the national polls. The call follows a series of internal disputes that threatened to fragment the party’s campaign machinery. Barau’s message aims to restore cohesion and present a united front as the 2027 electoral cycle approaches.
