Speaking to newsmen in Gusau on Wednesday, Yusuf Idris, the State APC Publicity Secretary, said the party was confident of winning the bye-election considering its strong popularity in the area.

“You know, the six political wards under Kaura Namoda state assembly constituency are fully dominated by APC members.
“As we all know, the late lawmaker, Aminu Kasuwar-Daji was elected under the platform of APC during the 2023 general elections.
