Borno: Zulum Endorses Gubio As Preferred Successor For 2027 Governorship by SlavaUkraini(op): 7:55am On Apr 29

Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum, has endorsed his immediate past Commissioner for Works, Mustapha Gubio, as his preferred candidate for the 2027 governorship election under the All Progressives Congress, APC, setting the stage for a potentially competitive party primary.

The governor’s spokesperson, Malam Dauda Iliya, confirmed the development on Tuesday, describing Gubio as the candidate best positioned to sustain and expand the administration’s development agenda.

According to him, Gubio represents continuity and has a strong understanding of the government’s policy direction and achievements.

“Gubio represents continuity. He understands the vision of this administration and has the capacity to build on its achievements,” Iliya said.

The endorsement reportedly followed a symbolic moment captured in a photograph showing Gubio presenting his expression of interest and nomination forms to the governor, alongside key political figures including Senator Mohammed Tahir Monguno and supporters.

The development has already triggered political reactions within APC circles in Borno State, with analysts warning it could heighten internal competition ahead of the primaries.

Observers also suggest the endorsement may deepen emerging political alignments within the party as aspirants intensify consultations ahead of the 2027 elections.

Didn’t Joe Biden endorse Kamala Harris? Endorsement is a normal phenomenon across the world. Endorsement has not stopped others from pursuing their ambition and participating in primaries.

The reason for some of these endorsement is for them to escape probe after leaving office. But life has a way of dealing with them.

El Rufai did it in Kaduna State but he was still probed.
Yaya Bello did it in Kogi State yet EFCC still investigated him.
Ifeanyi Okowa did it in Delta State, EFCC also investigated him.

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with endorsing an aspirant. If you tell yourself the truth enough, you'd know what endorsing someone in Nigeria by a sitting government usually means.

I really wonder how el rufai could have been so allof and caught off guard to annoint uba sani his successor and what could have made uba sanni also turn against him almost immediately.

Why won't they do primary again? Lagos, Ogun, Nassarawa, and now Bornu have handpicked their successors and no one is saying anything. No security, no job but he's only interested in politicking. Is that not a shame?

Let everyone go into the primary so that the people can choose who to rule them not all these paddy-paddy brouhaha in the name of politics. When Tinubu finishes with this country we must have gone back to pre-almagation era. He has A1 in politics but F9 in rulership.
