The governorship ambition of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in Yobe State, Alhaji Baba Malam Wali, has received a major boost in Yobe North, as traditional and political leaders across the zone pledged support for his 2027 bid.
The endorsements came during Wali’s consultations with the Emir of Bade, Alhaji (Dr.) Abubakar Umar Suleiman; the Emir of Machina, Alhaji (Dr.) Bashir Albishir Bukar; and former Senate President, Senator Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan.
Wali, who hails from Nguru in Yobe North, was described by leaders in the zone as one of their own and a candidate capable of taking the governorship to Zone C.
At the Bade Emirate, Emir Abubakar Umar Suleiman welcomed Wali as “our own” and urged him, if elected, not to allow political cabals to isolate him from sincere advice.
