Senator Mustapha Musa from Yobe State Steps Down, Endorses Governor Buni as Successor
Senator Mustapha Musa from Yobe State has stepped down from the 2027 National Assembly race and endorsed Governor Mai Mala Buni as his preferred successor. The move is seen as part of the APC's strategy to strengthen unity ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Senator Mustapha Musa, representing Yobe East, has withdrawn from the 2027 National Assembly race. He endorsed Governor Mai Mala Buni as his preferred successor and instructed his supporters to stop circulating campaign materials. Musa congratulated Baba Mallam Wali, the APC's preferred governorship candidate, and wished all APC candidates success. The development is seen as a push for inclusion and unity within the APC. Governor Buni has played a key role in the APC's victory in the 2015 general elections and served as APC Caretaker Chairman between 2020 and 2022. The move comes as former Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, obtained the APC nomination form for the 2027 Nasarawa state governorship election, despite Governor Abdullahi Sule announcing Senator Ahmed Wadada as the preferred candidate.
