The senator representing Bauchi Central, Ahmed Abdul Ningi, of the Peoples Democratic Party, has officially announced his intention to run for the governorship of Bauchi State in 2027 under the PDP banner.
Ningi made the declaration on Friday while addressing PDP stakeholders in the Ganjuwa Local Government Area.
In his speech, the Deputy Majority Leader of the Nigerian Senate assured his supporters of his dedication to serving the people of Bauchi State and reaffirmed his loyalty to the party.
He emphasized that his decision to contest was not motivated by personal ambition but by a desire to serve at a higher level of responsibility.
“I am not joining the gubernatorial race for fame or popularity—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 recognition?” Ningi remarked.
Ningi also stressed his long-standing commitment to the PDP, stating, “I am a founding member of the party from its inception. I have never left, and I will not leave. Our goal is to strengthen the party, retain power in Bauchi State, and reclaim leadership at the national level in 2027.”
He urged PDP stakeholders to begin preparations for the 2027 elections, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that the party’s governorship ticket is awarded to a candidate with the political strength to secure victory and build on the party’s past achievements.
