The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Bauchi State, Adamu Usman Ahmed, has vowed to stop the incumbent Governor, Bala Mohammed from installing a successor in the coming election.

Addressing journalists in Abuja yesterday, Ahmed said the opposition is set to coast to victory in Bauchi. 

Bala Mohammed who was before now the Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum recently defected to the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) following the emergency of two factions in the PDP. 

Meanwhile, the PDP governorship candidate, while insisting that he is poised to win the governorship contest, stated that the Bauchi electorate are ready to vote for the opposition party. 

He said ‘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 ruling 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 his administration if elected will be job creation.
