As the 2027 general election gathers momentum with serious permutations, contestants for various positions are beginning to get desperate.
Governor Bala Mohammed Abdulkadir is in the race as the candidate of the Allied People’s Movement (APM) for the competitive seat of the Bauchi South Senatorial District, which pundits believe has always been a herculean task for governors exiting office to claim the exalted senatorial seat.
2027 is not different from the previous elections in the state, especially as the governor is going to contest under an unfamiliar platform, the APM.
Observers say that there are numerous factors that had always worked against his predecessors, who failed to clinch the Bauchi South Senatorial seat.
Records show that one of the political missteps of former Bauchi State Governor Ahmadu Adamu Mu’azu, and former National chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), was because he picked his Secretary to the State Government, Nadada Umar, to succeed him as governor.
