Comrade Sabo Mohammed, a former candidate for the House of Representatives elections in 2019 under the All Progressives Congress (APC), has pledged his support for Senator Shehu Buba’s gubernatorial aspiration in 2027.
Sabo Mohammed made the declaration while talking to journalists on Tuesday in Bauchi, saying this move is aimed at bolstering the APC’s chances in the forthcoming general elections.
Mohammed has relinquished his political structures, comprising supporters and associates from the 20 electoral wards of Bauchi Local Government Areas, to back Senator Buba and other APC candidates.
Notably, these structures have previously supported Sabo Mohammed in 2011 under the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) when he became the flag bearer for the nation’s lower legislative chamber.
As the head of the publicity committee for Senator Umar’s 2027 gubernatorial elections, Sabo Mohammed emphasized that his political structures would unwaveringly support Buba, regardless of his own electoral plans.
Sabo’s primary objectives include ensuring the APC wins all elections in Bauchi local government areas and reassuring his supporters of his commitment to their cause.
To solidify Senator Buba’s chances, a 27-member committee is being established to align with the senator and his political structures, paving the way for Umar to assume leadership in the state in 2027.
According to him,this development is significant, considering Senator Buba’s growing popularity and reputation as a compassionate leader, demonstrated through his various initiatives,
“Such as sponsoring over 50 individuals for the 2024 Hajj and providing essential support to his constituents
“His leadership style, focused on engagement and accountability, resonates with the people, making him a strong contender for the gubernatorial seat,” Mohammed said.
