From Alhaji Yusuf, Damaturu
A youth coalition, the Bomai Yobe East Solidarity Movement, has formally called on Senator Ibrahim Mohammad Bomai to contest the Yobe State governorship election in 2027.
The endorsement came during the inauguration of the group’s new executives in Damaturu on Saturday.
Coordinator Abba Soso Geidam stated the movement was established specifically to rally support for Senator Bomai’s candidacy. He expressed strong confidence in the senator’s record, claiming no potential contender could match Bomai’s developmental achievements over his eight years in the Senate.
Ibrahim Mohamed, Pioneer Secretary of the Bomai Support Group, cited Bomai’s performance in his constituency and his rapid rise to prominence.
He praised Bomai’s leadership, noting his unprecedented appointment as Chairman of the LCT Committee as a second-term senator.
Mohamed also highlighted Bomai’s 35-year civil service career and his decisive electoral victory in 2018, when he unseated an incumbent senator by a wide margin.
On the issue of political zoning, Mohamed advocated for a power shift to Zone B, framing it as a necessary rotation of governance within the state.
The public endorsement marks an early mobilization effort as political preparations for the 2027 elections gain momentum.
