Yusuf Tuggar, former Minister of Foreign Affairs, has officially declared his intention to contest the 2027 Bauchi State governorship election under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC). The announcement was made during a political rally in Bauchi, where he addressed party supporters and outlined his vision for transforming the state. Tuggar emphasized that his candidacy is driven by a commitment to service and progress, not personal ambition. He stated that he is stepping forward to build on the legacies of past leaders and propel Bauchi into a new era of sustainable development.
In his speech, Tuggar revealed that he has developed a comprehensive 10-point agenda aimed at fast-tracking social and economic growth in Bauchi. The agenda includes key areas such as economic diversification, agricultural transformation, livestock development, healthcare improvement, education enhancement, and empowerment of women and youth. He also highlighted digital innovation and entrepreneurship development, clean energy initiatives, infrastructure expansion, rural development, an anti-corruption campaign, and improved salaries and welfare for civil servants as core components of his plan.
Tuggar stressed the importance of youth inclusion in governance and pledged to promote community policing through collaboration between the government, security agencies, community leaders, and religious authorities. He believes this approach will foster peace, security, and stability across the state. His vision is rooted in inclusive leadership, transparency, and accountability, which he says are essential for long-term progress.
The former minister called on APC stakeholders, party members, and the general public to support his bid to secure the party’s gubernatorial ticket. He expressed confidence that with collective effort, Bauchi can achieve significant transformation under his leadership. Tuggar’s declaration marks a significant moment in the state’s political landscape, as he brings national experience and a clear development blueprint to the race.
His campaign is expected to gain momentum as the 2027 election draws nearer, with supporters already rallying behind his promise of change. As Bauchi State prepares for the next chapter in its political journey, Tuggar’s entry into the gubernatorial race adds a new dimension to the upcoming electoral contest. The coming months will reveal how his vision resonates with voters and whether he can secure the APC nomination to lead the state into the future.
