YOBE — The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Yobe State, Alhaji Baba Malam Wali, has continued his consultations with traditional rulers, seeking the support and prayers of the Emir of Geidam, Alhaji Mustapha Ibn Mahmud, ahead of the 2027 governorship election.

Wali, who visited the monarch at his palace in Geidam shortly after meeting the Emir of Damaturu, said his consultation was part of efforts to engage traditional institutions and other stakeholders across the state ahead of the election.

The APC candidate said he was in Geidam on behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Mai Mala Buni, who is seeking election to the Senate, and the leadership and members of the party.

He said the visit was also aimed at seeking the Emir’s prayers for continued peace and development in Geidam and Yobe State.
