Barau made this known during a press briefing while responding to questions about calls from political groups urging the President to adopt him as his running mate for the 2027 presidential race.


“Whatever the President asks me to do, I will do it 100 per cent. He is my political father. If he calls on me to work with him, I will simply say, ‘Thank you, sir’ and I will do it,” he said.


The Kano-born lawmaker stressed that it was too early to talk about 2027 politics, saying the focus now should be on governance and supporting the President’s efforts to develop the country.


Barau added that some groups pushing for him to be vice president meant well, but he had advised them to focus on supporting Tinubu’s administration instead of engaging in premature politicking.
