Bauchi 2027: Choose Bala Wunti as Consensus Candidate – APC stalwart appeals 

Key stakeholders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), in Bauchi State have been enjoined to, as a matter of necessity, adopt Dr. Bala Maijama’a Wunti as the party’s consensus governorship candidate ahead of the 2027 elections.

The call was made by a prominent stalwart of APC and loyalist to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Khamis Musa Darazo, in an interactive session with Journalists on Monday.

He also called on the Presidency, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof Nentawe Yilwatda and all relevant organs of the party to support the agitations.

Musa Darazo stressed that the call is in line with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which prioritizes unity, good governance, economic growth, and people-centered leadership across all levels of government.

He argued that for the agenda to fully take root, states like Bauchi must present credible and capable leaders who can translate national policies into tangible development at the grassroots.

He further said that Bala Maijama’a Wunti embodies the ideals of the Renewed Hope Agenda through his leadership capacity, administrative experience, and strong connection with the people.

According to him, “The Renewed Hope Agenda is about delivering results, restoring confidence in governance, and building a better future for Nigerians. Dr. Bala Mai Jama’a Wunti has the vision and competence to drive this agenda effectively in Bauchi State.’

“The time has come for APC in Bauchi to embrace unity and strategic leadership. Supporting Dr. Wunti as a consensus candidate is not just a political decision, it is a step toward advancing the Renewed Hope Agenda and securing a prosperous future for our people,” he noted.

He stressed that adopting a consensus candidate would help prevent internal divisions, reduce friction after party primaries, and strengthen APC’s chances of reclaiming Bauchi State.

He added that aligning Bauchi’s leadership with the Renewed Hope Agenda would accelerate development, improve livelihoods, and ensure that the dividends of democracy reach every corner of the state.

Reaffirming his loyalty to President Tinubu, Darazo urged APC leaders at all levels to take decisive steps that reflect the spirit of the Renewed Hope Agenda by supporting candidates who are credible, widely accepted, and committed to national progress.
