Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State has approved financial support for leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) across the 17 local government areas of the state.

Speaking at the APC secretariat in Damaturu, the State Party Chairman, Alhaji Muhammad Gadaka, disclosed that as part of the governor’s Sallah gesture, N100,000 has been approved for each party leader at the ward, local government, and state levels.

The chairman explained that the support is aimed at easing financial pressures associated with personal responsibilities and party activities during the festive season.

He noted that Governor Buni has consistently prioritized the strengthening of wards, recognizing them as key pillars of the ruling party based on their political relevance.

Gadaka emphasized that the governor does not interfere in the selection of party or government officials. Instead, he allows communities, through their stakeholders, to freely choose their representatives, demonstrating his respect for democratic principles.

According to him, the governor also grants full autonomy to local government areas to manage their political processes.

He urged party leaders to uphold the trust reposed in them and to carry out their responsibilities diligently in order to achieve collective political success.

On future political contests, Gadaka stressed that leadership ultimately comes from Allah, urging aspirants to remain prayerful and committed to the common good.

He recalled that similar prayers during the tenure of former Governor Ibrahim Gaidam contributed to the emergence of Governor Buni.

The chairman further noted that finding a successor of Governor Buni’s calibre would be challenging, but expressed confidence that his prayers and leadership would produce a capable successor ahead of the 2027 elections.

In their response, APC leaders commended the governor for the gesture, describing it as timely and a clear demonstration of his commitment to grassroots leadership.

They also highlighted the cordial relationship between the governor and party stakeholders, noting that he remains accessible and responsive to party-related concerns.

The leaders cautioned members against negative influences, urging unity, discipline, and loyalty to party ideals.

They added that Governor Buni has demonstrated rare confidence in party leaders by entrusting them with the responsibility of sustaining his legacy.
