Yes, this is a clarion call on the APC Bauchi State to consider Mal. Musa Yashi as the consensus and strategic choice for the 2027 Governorship Election

As Bauchi State looks ahead to the 2027 governorship election, the All Progressives Congress (APC) stands at a historic crossroads. The task before the party is not just to win an election, but to present to the people of Bauchi a leader with vision, credibility, capacity and a proven commitment to public service. In this regard, one name continues to resonate across party structures, development circles and grassroots communities: Mal. Musa Umar Yashi .

Mal. Musa Yashi represents the finest traditions of technocratic leadership blended with deep grassroots understanding. His track record of service, particularly within the North East Development Commission (NEDC), speaks volumes. At a time when the North East was grappling with post-conflict recovery, institutional weakness and developmental deficits, Mal. Yashi emerged as a steady, focused and result-oriented administrator. His contributions helped reposition the Commission as a serious vehicle for reconstruction, rehabilitation and sustainable development.

Under his stewardship, policies and programmes were not driven by political sentiment but by data, needs assessment and long-term impact.

Communities across the North East have benefited from interventions that address infrastructure, livelihoods, education and social stability. These are the same qualities Bauchi State urgently needs as it confronts challenges of youth unemployment, economic diversification, insecurity and inclusive growth.

For APC in Bauchi State, adopting Mal. Musa Yashi is both a strategic and moral choice. Strategically, he embodies competence and integrity, values that align squarely with the founding principles of the APC as well as the Renewed Hope Initiative of President Bola Tinubu.

Morally, he offers clean leadership, free from the baggage of corruption, divisive politics or self-serving ambition. His leadership style is consultative, inclusive and people-centered, making him acceptable across party factions, local governments and Senatorial zones.

Importantly, Mal. Yashi is not a career politician detached from the realities of ordinary people. He understands Bauchi’s rural communities, urban pressures, traditional institutions and youth aspirations. His calm disposition, administrative depth and ability to build consensus make him uniquely positioned to unite the party and broaden its appeal beyond its traditional base.

As the 2027 election approaches, APC Bauchi State must prioritize credibility over convenience, capacity over sentiment and the future over the past.

The party needs a flagbearer who can confidently present a development-driven agenda, inspire trust among voters and effectively govern from day one.

Mal. Musa Yashi fits this moment. He is not just a candidate; he is a statement of intent a declaration that APC Bauchi State is ready to offer purposeful leadership, sustainable development and a brighter future.

The call is clear:
For unity, victory and progress in 2027, APC Bauchi State must adopt Mal. Musa Yashi for Governor. Mal Gambo Hamza via gambohamz@gmail.com
