A 77-year-old former Senator who represented the Bauchi South senatorial district, Adamu Gumba has been urged to throw his hat in the ring for the Bauchi State governorship contest in 2027.
The leader of the group, Kuyambanan Bauchi Campaign, Danlami Danfulani speaking in Bauchi on Sunday, said that different associations that include women, youths, traders and artisans have resolved to pitch for the ex-senator to contest under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The group expressed satisfaction with the performance of Governor Bala Mohammed, saying that there are areas of improvement, hence the call on Gumba to contest and fix other development projects.
Danfulani said that after thorough and in-depth thought, “we realised that the best person to continue from where Governor Bala Muhammed will stop, is Senator Adamu Ibrahim Gumba.
“This is because, we have noticed that he is blessed with many qualities as a leader which include: ability and leadership experience to take Bauchi State to greater heights. Senator Adamu Ibrahim Gumba, is a man of integrity and respect that cares for the concerns of the downtrodden, irrespective of any differences.
“We are passionately making this call having known the capacity and capability of Senator Gumba, who has been serving the people of Bauchi, even before the creation of the state in 1976.
“Finally, while urging the PDP family in Bauchi state and the electorate to consider our plea, we assure you that with the huge experience he garnered, Senator Gumba will surely take Bauchi State to the next level, if given this onerous opportunity to serve as the State Chief Executive,” he said.
