Stakeholders and political groups operating under the aegis of Bauchi South Concern Citizens Movement have advocated for the northern part of the state to produce the governor in the 2027 general election.

The group which is an arm of the All Progressives Congress in a meeting in Bauchi said the ticket should be reserved for someone from the northern zone of the state.

Abudullahi Usman Matori, a chieftain of the APC and an elder statesman, speaking in the meeting on Monday, maintained that Bauch South has been producing governors since 1999 and it would be justified that the narrative should change in 2027 in the interest of justice and fairness.

He urged the party to work with other relevant stakeholders to ensure that the northern zone produces the next governor as the state was not meant to be governed by people from the Southern zone alone.

“For political fairness and inclusivity, the next Governor of the State should come from another zone, particularly the Bauchi North Zone, the seat is not for Bauchi South alone.”
