Thousands of youths from the 19 Northern states gathered at the National Assembly in Abuja for a peaceful rally in support of Senator Barau Jibrin, APC-Kano North, the Deputy President of the Senate.<\/p>\n

The rally aimed to express solidarity amid criticism surrounding the Senate\u2019s handling of the Tax Reform Bills.<\/p>\n

Led by former NANS President Comrade Tijjani Kabiru Mohammed, the youths praised Barau as the \u201cSardauna of our era\u201d and displayed banners with messages like \u201cSenator Barau: The pro-masses lawmaker\u201d and \u201cStop attacking Senator Barau.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rally follows Senator Barau\u2019s advocacy for allowing experts, including Taiwo Oyedele, Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Tax Reform, to educate senators and the public on the proposed tax reforms during plenary.<\/p>\n

Kabiru Mohammed clarified that Barau neither opposed nor supported the bills outright but emphasized public awareness. Rally participants also highlighted Barau\u2019s contributions, including his sponsorship of the North West Development Commission Bill, underscoring his commitment to the region.<\/p>\n
