By Our Correspondent
The Christian Northern Nigeria Progressive Forum (CNNPF) has congratulated Rt. Hon. Dr. Aminu Sani Jaji on his overwhelming victory in the All Progressives Congress (APC) re-run primary election for Kaura Namoda / Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency.
In a press statement issued on 12th November, 2026 and signed by its National Coordinator, Elder Hon. Ibrahim Gabriel Itodo, the Forum described Jaji’s victory as overwhelming and undisputed.
The re-run primary, conducted on Wednesday, 11th November, 2026, followed a Federal High Court order nullifying the earlier primary and directing the party to conduct a fresh election within two weeks.
Announcing the result at the collation centre in Kaura Namoda, the Chairman of the APC Electoral Committee, Hon. Kabiru Idris, declared Jaji winner after polling 26,646 votes.
His closest challenger, Hassan Umar Dangaladima, scored 713 votes – 465 votes in Kaura Namoda and 248 votes in Birnin Magaji – while the third aspirant, Musa Zubairu, scored no vote.
A breakdown of the result showed that Jaji scored 14,264 votes in Kaura Namoda and 12,382 votes in Birnin Magaji.
Idris said the constituency had 42,266 registered party members, out of whom 27,389 were accredited to vote, while 27,359 votes were cast. 3c39
Reacting to the outcome, the CNNPF said the victory is a clear sign of a detribalised personality and a man who is not a religious bigot, adding that it is proof that leadership built on service, fairness and love for all people will always prevail.
The Forum thanked the All Progressives Congress for providing a free, fair and transparent ground for the election and for complying with the court order. It also thanked the APC Electoral Committee under Hon. Kabiru Idris for its display of transparency and commitment to the party.
The Forum also commended the people of Kaura Namoda and Birnin Magaji for their uncommon show of love, saying they stood firm, turned out in numbers, and defended democracy.
It appealed to Rt. Hon. Dr. Jaji to continue to focus on developing the people, as he is known to do, noting that to whom much is given, much is expected.
The Forum prayed for long life, good health and more prosperity for him to serve the people evenly, without discrimination, and thanked everyone who sacrificed time and energy during the exercise.
“This victory is for all of us. God bless Rt. Hon. Dr. Aminu Sani Jaji. God bless Kaura Namoda / Birnin Magaji. God bless APC. God bless Nigeria,” the statement said.
