A leading contender for the Senate Presidency, Senator Jibrin Barau (All Progressives Congress, Kano), has hosted over 70 senators-elect to form the needed bond ahead of the inauguration of the parliament.
Barau is the only APC member that won a senatorial seat from Kano State. The other two seats were won by the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP).
Barau, who is a third-timer at the upper chamber, is yet to publicly declare his interest to run for the coveted seat, he has deployed his foot soldiers to meet key stakeholders, including ranking federal lawmakers.
He currently chairs the Senate Committee on Appropriations.
