The senator representing Bauchi Central, Ahmed Abdul Ningi of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has officially declared his intention to contest for the governorship of Bauchi State in 2027 under the PDP.
Ningi made the announcement on Friday while addressing PDP stakeholders in the Ganjuwa Local Government Area.
The Deputy Majority Leader of the Nigerian Senate assured his supporters of his commitment to serving the people of Bauchi State, reaffirming his loyalty to the party.
He said his decision to run was not driven by personal ambition but by a desire to continue serving 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?” he stated.
Ningi also highlighted his long-standing dedication to the PDP. “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 by ensuring that the party’s governorship ticket is given to a candidate with the political strength to secure victory and build on the party’s achievements.
