2027: Ningi To Run For Governor of Bauchi State

From Paul Orude Bauchi
Senator Ahmed Abdul Ningi of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) representing Bauchi Central, has signified his interest to run for Governor of Bauchi State on the platform of the PDP in 2027.
Ningi made the revelation on Friday while addressing PDP stakeholders in Ganjuwa Local Government Area.
The Deputy Majority Leader of the Nigerian Senate assured his supporters that he was ready to serve the people of the state on the platform of the PDP, hence his decision to remain loyal to the party.
Ningi explained that his decision to run as governor was not a selfish motive but a desire to continue serving the people of the state on a different level and of greater responsibility.
“I am not in the gubernatorial race to seek fame or increase my popularity—no, I have already made a name for myself. I have risen to the position of Deputy Senate Leader; what more do I need in terms of name and popularity,?” he said.
“I am a founding member of the PDP right from its inception.
“I have never left the party, and I will not do so. We are here to build the party and ensure that it retains power in Bauchi State and reclaims the country in 2027.”
He urged PDP stakeholders to prepare ahead of 2027 by ensuring that the governorship ticket went to the right candidate with the political capacity to win the election and consolidate the party’s gains.
