From Ndubuisi Orji, Abuja
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Bauchi State, Adamu Usman Ahmed, has said Governor Bala Mohammed cannot install a successor in the 2027 general election.
Ahmed, who stated this in an interview with journalists in Abuja, said the coast is clear for the opposition to win the Bauchi 2027 gubernatorial contest.
The Bauchi governor, who was elected on the platform of the PDP, recently defected to the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).
Nonetheless, the PDP governorship candidate, while noting that he is poised to win the governorship contest, stated that the Bauchi electorate are very discerning.

According to him, ‘The people of Bauchi are always wise. In fact, from the history of the state, there has never been a governor that was able to install a successor in the state. So the chances are clear, and the coast is clear for the opposition to win.
‘Well, the dynamics of politics is very different nowadays. Most especially in this 2027 elections. Because it is the only time where at least we have like seven or eight political parties are contesting for the governorship election.
‘Usually the trend has been only two parties, a two-horse race, and it is either the winning party or the opposition. But this is the only election where you have at least seven different candidates from different parties. That is my added advantage.’
Ahmed promised to tackle unemployment, if elected as governor, noting that ‘the major target of my government will be job creation, because that is what is causing lots of social crisis and the youth are nowhere to be found. So once we have this job creation, I believe that will cater for the unrest and social crisis that are affecting our economy.’
