According to Gadanya, the plot is being orchestrated by some “disgruntled elements” within Kano State and beyond.
“We wish to inform Nigerians, particularly the good people of Kano North Senatorial District and Kano State at large ,of a plot by some disgruntled elements both within Kano and beyond to thwart our efforts towards the re-election of Senator Barau I. Jibrin in 2027,” he said.
He stated that the plotters are working to stop DSP Barau Jibrin’s re-election so as to deny the people of Kano North Senatorial zone and the people of the state of his quality represention at the Senate.
“These undesirable elements are no doubt seeking to impose their will to only serve their selfish agenda of perpetuating anti-Kano interests.
