The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has affirmed Sheikh Naziru Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi as its governorship candidate for the 2027 general elections in Bauchi State following a special delegates congress held on Wednesday in Bauchi.
The exercise was supervised by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), with delegates from the 20 Local Government Areas of the state in attendance.
In his acceptance speech, the governorship candidate, Sheikh Naziru Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi, expressed appreciation to the delegates for the confidence reposed in him, describing the endorsement as a great honour and responsibility.
He pledged to prioritise education, security, economic self-reliance, and healthcare if elected governor, describing the sectors as critical to the development and progress of Bauchi State.
Naziru expressed optimism that APGA would emerge victorious in all elective positions during the 2027 general elections, citing the quality, competence, and credibility of the party’s candidates.
“My ambition to serve as Governor is driven by the desire to provide responsible leadership, economic growth, youth empowerment, justice, and equal opportunities to every citizen of Bauchi State,” he said.
“This movement is not about politics alone; it is about rebuilding hope, restoring trust in government, and creating a future where every citizen matters regardless of tribe, religion, or social status.”
He further pledged to build a peaceful, prosperous, secure, and economically independent state where citizens would have access to quality education, healthcare, infrastructure, and opportunities for success.
Naziru also promised to provide transparent and accountable leadership, empower youths and women through sustainable programmes, create jobs, reduce poverty, and ensure fairness and justice in governance.
Earlier, the State Chairman of APGA, Alhaji Ibrahim Dantalle, assured party members that APGA, as one of the oldest political parties in Nigeria, would present candidates acceptable to the people.
He explained that other gubernatorial aspirants voluntarily stepped down in support of Sheikh Naziru because of his qualities, leadership capacity, and competence, while urging him to carry all stakeholders along.
Dantalle formally presented Sheikh Naziru Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi to party members as the governorship candidate of APGA for the 2027 election, a development that was unanimously endorsed by delegates at the congress.
