With the presence of key APC figures such as Lado, Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, and APC National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje, Akpabio expressed confidence that the ruling party will dominate the polls in Kano.
Kano in the ‘Kitty’ for APCAkpabio praised the strategic roles played by these political heavyweights in consolidating the APC’s influence in Kano State.
“Ahead of 2027, with the Deputy President of the Senate, the National Chairman of APC, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, and your strategic self, Kano is already in the kitty of APC,” Akpabio stated confidently.
Beyond electoral matters, Akpabio commended Basheer Lado for his efficiency in office, noting that since Lado assumed his position, there have been no leaks of presidential communications to the Senate.
“Let me put on record that since Senator Lado’s assumption of office as Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on National Assembly (Senate Matters), we have not had a single leakage of private communication between the presidency and the Senate,” Akpabio said.
He stressed the importance of confidentiality in governance, warning that information leaks could negatively impact national security.
“In government, there is what we call the right to know. But when government business is conducted on the pages of newspapers and social media through leakages of information, it negatively rubs off on national security,” he added.
Akpabio lauded Lado’s contributions to strengthening cooperation between the executive and the legislature, describing his performance as “unprecedented.”

Akpabio is a Dependable AllyIn his response, Lado expressed gratitude to Akpabio for his leadership and unwavering support for President Bola Tinubu.
He emphasized the importance of unity between the executive and legislative arms of government.
“Mr. Senate President, your presence here is not only symbolic of the harmony between the executive and the legislature; it is a testament to the power of unity, the strength of shared vision, and the boundless possibilities when leadership is anchored on service,” Lado stated.
He further praised Akpabio’s commitment to Tinubu’s administration and his dedication to advancing the ‘Renewed Hope’ agenda.
“In you, Mr. President has found not only a dependable ally but a statesman who understands the delicate art of governance and the importance of cooperation over confrontation,” Lado added.
