Ahead of the 2027 presidential election, Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau Jibrin (APC, Kano North), has responded to calls for him to be considered as President Bola Tinubu’s running mate, stating, “I will do whatever the President wants me to do.” Speaking to journalists on Thursday in Abuja during a briefing on the upcoming zonal public hearing of the Senate Committee on Constitution Review, Jibrin emphasized his loyalty, saying he would carry out any task assigned to him by the President with total commitment. The Deputy President of the Senate said, ” Honestly, I don’t want to say anything about this now. Because one point is very clear. Mr. President, since the inception of this administration, has been trying so hard to change the trajectory of the country in a way that will bring prosperity to the nation. “We all know the problems that he inherited. And we’ve been working with him – day and night. Because he’s our father, he’s the father of the nation. He’s open-minded. ” We understand what he’s doing. And I feel that at this time, there’s no point in talking about all these issues. (Running Mate). “What he’s doing is a work in progress. I believe that the best thing to do is to continue cooperating with Mr. President and supporting him. Not only the legislature but the entire people of this country should support the President. ” So, bringing this issue is quite premature. That’s why I told those groups; frankly, I don’t know them. I thank them for believing in me. But I told them, look, instead of wasting your energy on things that are not relevant now, channel your resources to support the President. “When the time comes, we’ll play politics. But this time is for governance. This is the issue. ” Mr. President is my political father. You’ll be surprised if I start telling you what he has done for me and my people. So, whenever he asks me to do something, when the time comes, I’ll do it. I’m very loyal to him. ” You see, Mr. President is a very kind-hearted person. When we had our problem in Kano, he resolved that issue for us. He made it possible for me to be given the ticket to the Senate in 2023. He stood by me to become the Deputy Senate President “So, if the time comes and he says, “I want you to work with me,” well, I would say, “Thank you, sir, and I will do it. So, whatever he asks me to do, I’ll do. I’m loyal to him, 100%. “The president is the father of the nation. So, make no mistake. But for now, we stand by him, we are working with him, and we want him to succeed. When he succeeds, we all succeed. ” Our faiths are tied together. Because we come from the same family we are Progressives I come from the Progressive fold, where he comes from. We are all progressives. That’s about my political history. I’m a progressive to the core. “So, we cherish loyalty. I’m 100% loyal to Mr. President. In 2027, I’ll do whatever he tells me to do”.
