The immediate past Secretary to the Bauchi State Government, Ibrahim Kashim, has obtained the governorship expression of interest form under the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Kashim confirmed the development in a statement on Saturday, describing the move as the start of his bid for the governorship seat.
He said the decision followed consultations with supporters across the state and a commitment to offering improved governance and development.
The former SSG stated that his aspiration was driven by the need to strengthen service delivery in key sectors such as education, healthcare, agriculture, and economic development.
He also noted that the objective of his campaign was to expand opportunities for the youths and improve living conditions across Bauchi State.
The politician, who recently moved from the Social Democratic Party, SDP, to the Nigeria Democratic Congress, said the shift was aimed at strengthening his political platform ahead of the election.
He added that his focus remained on promoting unity, development and improved governance in the state.
