Yobe Governorship:Tumsah Decries Plot To Scuttle His Aspiration
By Abdullahi Yusuf
A governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress(APC) in Yobe State,Kashim Musa Tumsah(KMT), says some mischievous persons are plotting to scuttle his ambition.
Tumsah raised the alarm in a statement signed by the Spokesman of the KMT Campaign Organization,Abubakar Ahmed.
“It has come to the notice of His Excellency, Kashim Musa Tumsah MFR aka KMT and indeed the KMT Campaign Organization that some mischievous persons who do not mean well for the growth and progress of Yobe State have engaged in callous rumour mongering that His Excellency, Kashim Musa Tumsah, the strongest and most popular governorship aspirant, has withdrawn his aspiration.
“It should be clearly understood that the rumour emanating from whichever source is baseless, callous and a wild impossible imagination of those spreading it,” Ahmed said.
According to him,KMT remains strong in his aspiration and fully prepared to participate in Thursday’s (21st May, 2026) All Progressives Congress APC governorship primaries in the state with the full backing of all his supporters.
He urged all APC members in the state alongside other citizens to disregard any and all negative information, especially regarding withdrawal of KMT’s participation in the coming governorship primaries.
“This is another plot by those who fear that Kashim Musa Tumsah MFR will win the 2027 governorship election in Yobe State by the special grace of God and genuine support of Yobe State citizens.
“Any contrary information from any source other than the KMT Campaign Organization should be considered as fake, henceforth please,” the statement added
