Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi Local Government Area have reaffirmed their commitment to reclaiming the state from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
They declared support for Sen. Shehu Buba as their preferred candidate for the 2027 governorship election.
The declaration was made during a major rally held over the weekend in Bauchi, where party members and supporters gathered in large numbers to show unity and purpose ahead of the next election cycle.
Speaking at the event, Alhaji Mohammed Danmaliki, Chairman of the Organising Forum, said the time had come for the APC to unite and reposition the state through visionary leadership
He described Buba’s track record across the Bauchi South Senatorial District, which included Alkaleri, Bauchi, Bogoro, Dass, Tafawa Balewa, Kirfi, and Toro LGAs, as evidence of his capacity to deliver meaningful development.
“His projects, ranging from water supply initiatives, youth employment, and road construction, to scholarships and support for healthcare and education, demonstrate his commitment to the people,” Danmaliki stated.
Mr Sabo Mohammed, of the planning sub-committee, noted that Buba’s goodwill extended beyond his senatorial district, saying his popularity across all 20 Local Government Areas would be instrumental in mobilising support for the APC.
Another party stakeholder, Hussaini Wunti, criticised the current PDP-led government for what he described as inadequate support for small businesses and local development.
He expressed confidence that under Buba’s leadership, the APC would restore hope and progress in Bauchi State.
Jibrin Jibrin, s stakeholder also urged residents to rally behind the senator, describing him as a visionary capable of ending what he called “years of stagnation.”
Representatives from Zungur, Galambi, and Miri districts pledged full grassroots support for the endorsement, promising to work tirelessly to deliver victory for the APC in 2027.
The stakeholders said that their united backing of Buba marked the beginning of a broader movement aimed at returning the APC to Government House and delivering renewed development to Bauchi State.
