The three aspirants pledged their support for Hon. Kamilu Sa'idu and promised to work towards his victory and that of the party in the upcoming bye-election.
Thirty delegates, elected from the six wards of Kagara, Dan-Isa, Sakajiki, Kurya, Kyambarawa, and Banga, unanimously affirmed Kamilu’s candidature.

Barrister Babande stated that Hon. Kamilu met all constitutional requirements of the party and was duly affirmed by the ward delegates under the supervision of officials from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), led by INEC Commissioner Dr. Muhammad Isah and his team.
Following the announcement, Chairman of the APC Primary Election Appeal Committee, Hon. Isah Halilu Ahmad, inquired if there were any complaints regarding the conduct of the primary election. Both aspirants and delegates confirmed there were none, affirming the transparency and fairness of the process.
The primary election was witnessed by key APC stakeholders, including the State Party Chairman Hon. Tukur Umar Danfulani; Secretary Hon. Ibrahim Umar Dangaladima; Deputy Chairman Alhaji Hassan Marafa Damri; Former APC Chairman Hon. Lawal M. Liman and his Secretary Hon. Sani Musa T/Mafara; as well as members of the State Working Committee such as Publicity Secretary Yusuf Idris Gusau, Welfare Secretary Bashir Idris Ataka, State Youth Leader Musa Idris Ardo, and Assistant Publicity Secretary Junaidu Attahiru Dosara, among others.
