Masʽud Doguwa El-Jibril was elected Senator for the Kano South constituency of
People's Democratic Party (PDP) platform. He took office on 29 May 1999.[1]
After taking his seat in the Senate in June 1999 he was appointed to committees on Industries, Foreign Affairs, Works & Housing, Agriculture (Chairman) and Information.[2]
In November 2005 Jibril emerged as chairman of a PDP faction called the "People's PDP", headed by
Abubakar Muhammad Rimi
, which was organizing meetings across the country.
John Odey, the PDP national publicity secretary, said that the new association had no legal right to hold a congress since it was only an association.[3]
As chairman of the Kano State People's Democratic Party, in April 2006 Jibril accused the All Nigeria People's Party (ANPP) of orchestrating violence during a recent visit of President Olusegun Obasanjo to the state. The ANPP replied by blaming the clashes on PDP thugs.[4]
