Ata also promised to work towards ensuring that the APC reclaims Kano State in the upcoming elections, emphasizing his resolve to strengthen the party’s influence in the region.
“This appointment is for the citizens of Kano State and Nigeria.
“I assure the President that, God willing, Kano State will return to be an APC stronghold in 2027.
“My appointment is primarily due to the political significance of Kano Central, a region with a substantial voter base.
“I will continue to be present in my ward and constituency to strengthen our political base,” he explained.
The minister emphasized the importance of completing ongoing projects within his ministry, particularly those aligned with the Renewed Hope Agenda.
He also expressed confidence in his ability to fulfill these commitments, drawing on his extensive experience as a former Speaker and Majority Leader of the State House of Assembly.
“Kano Central has the highest vote. It has 65% of the registered voters and has no major appointment.
“But just now, the president has appointed me, and going by what they said, I have been in the House of Assembly since 1999.
“I was a speaker, majority leader, and Special Adviser to the Governor. So, we have all the confidence to win Kano State,” he said.
