The Initiative for Barrister Ibrahim Kashim has urged the people of Bauchi to move beyond geographical biases and embrace a governance structure centered on excellence, integrity, and service to the people.
Speaking at a press conference in Bauchi on Thursday, the project manager of the initiative Hon. Adamu Mohammed Abdullahi, emphasised that former Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Barrister Kashim Ibrahim Mohammed, possesses the capacity to serve as the next governor of Bauchi State.
The group, therefore, urged Barrister Kashim to accept the calls to run for the governorship seat and continue the developmental projects initiated by Governor Bala Muhammad.
"I stand before you today to unequivocally endorse the statement made by our revered elder statesman and political expert, Alhaji Garba Mohammed Noma. His timely and insightful call for the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to present a gubernatorial candidate from Bauchi Local Government for the 2027 elections is not just a political appeal but a clarion call for equity, meritocracy, and sustainable development in our dear state," Adamu stated.
The group clarified that such advocacy is not based on ethnic, tribal, or regional considerations but on the need to harness competence, vision, and leadership from Bauchi Local Government.
Hon. Abdullahi described Barrister Ibrahim Kashim Mohammed as a seasoned administrator and public servant whose contributions to Bauchi State have been exemplary.
According to him Kashim as a former Secretary to the State Government (SSG), demonstrated exceptional policymaking and implementation skills, tackling socioeconomic challenges while fostering growth and development.
He also highlighted Kashim’s unwavering commitment to Bauchi, recalling how he stepped down as the PDP gubernatorial candidate in the last election to pave the way for Senator Bala Mohammed after his presidential bid.
"Such an act of sacrifice and loyalty underscores his dedication to the collective good of our state," Abdullahi said.
He further urged Governor Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed and other influential PDP leaders to support Kashim, emphasising that his leadership would ensure continuity, stability, and an accelerated trajectory of development in Bauchi State.
"Furthermore, I call on the good people of Bauchi State to rally behind this vision of progress. By supporting Barrister Kashim Mohammed, we will be championing the principles of fairness, competence, and transformational leadership that are essential for the prosperity of our state," Adamu added.
"As we approach the 2027 gubernatorial elections, let us set aside parochial interests and prioritise the collective advancement of Bauchi State. The future of our state depends on the choices we make today.
"Together, let us choose a leader who is prepared, capable, and committed to leading Bauchi into a new era of sustainable development and inclusive growth," the Initiative for Barrister Ibrahim Kashim added.
The initiative called on all critical stakeholders including political parties, community leaders, opinion shapers, and the electorate to support the cause, "Together, we must work to identify and support a candidate who embodies the principles of good governance, accountability, and progress," the group called.
