Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Yobe State have affirmed Senator Ibrahim Mohammed Bomai as the party’s consensus candidate for Yobe South Senatorial District ahead in the 2027 general elections.
The affirmation followed consultations among party leaders, elders and political stakeholders across the senatorial district aimed at sustaining unity within the party.
The meeting took place at the Federal College of Education Multipurpose Hall in Potiskum Local Government Area, on Monday, and was conducted by the Speaker of the Yobe State House of Assembly, Hon. Buba Mashio, in the presence of APC chieftains, youth groups and supporters from across the district.
Party officials said the decision to adopt Bomai as consensus candidate was reached after extensive consultations to avoid internal divisions and ensure a smooth political process ahead of the elections.

Bomai had withdrawn from the Yobe governorship race before emerging as the party’s consensus candidate for the senatorial ticket.
Supporters at the event expressed confidence in the senator’s ability to continue representing the interests of the district, citing his political experience and contributions to the development of the party in the state.
Speaking shortly after the affirmation, Bomai thanked party leaders and supporters for the confidence reposed in him and pledged continued dedication to the people of the district.
“I want to sincerely thank our party leaders, elders, stakeholders and supporters across Yobe South Senatorial District for the support and confidence they have reposed in me,” he said.
“I remain committed to serving our people diligently and ensuring that the interests of Yobe South continue to receive the attention they deserve.”
He also commended fellow aspirants and party loyalists for embracing peace and unity throughout the consultation process.
According to him, placing collective interest above personal ambition would further strengthen the APC ahead of future elections.
“I also commend all party faithful and aspirants who embraced unity and worked towards ensuring harmony within our great party. Their loyalty and commitment to the APC are highly commendable,” he said.
He urged stakeholders and supporters across the district to remain united and work collectively towards electoral victory for the party in the forthcoming general elections.
If re-elected, Bomai would return to the National Assembly for a third term, a feat yet to be achieved by any senator from Yobe South Senatorial District.
