Governor of Babagana Umara Zulum, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, has commended the peaceful and orderly conduct of the All Progressives Congress, APC, primary election for the House of Representatives across Borno State.
Governor Zulum made the commendation while supervising the APC primary election for Gubio, Kaga and Magumeri Federal Constituency held in Magumeri town.
Hundreds of APC supporters from the three local government areas gathered at the venue to witness the exercise and welcome the governor alongside party officials.
Professor Zulum said the primary election was conducted in line with the Electoral Act 2026 and the APC constitution, which provides for consensus arrangements among aspirants.
He explained that although three aspirants initially indicated interest in contesting for the House of Representatives ticket, two later stepped down in support of the incumbent lawmaker, Honorable Usman Zannah.
The governor noted that party members and stakeholders from the constituency unanimously endorsed Honorable Usman Zannah as the consensus candidate through a voice vote.
Governor Zulum congratulated the candidate on his emergence and praised the aspirants who stepped down, Honorable Shettima Shehu and Alhaji Mohammed Sanda Ngamdu, for demonstrating political maturity and party unity.
He further stressed that the APC consensus arrangement was voluntary and did not prevent any aspirant from participating in a direct primary election.
Chairman of the APC Primary Elections Committee for Gubio, Kaga and Magumeri Federal Constituency, Honorable Yuguda Saleh Vungas, also commended Governor Zulum for creating an enabling environment for the peaceful conduct of the exercise.
The primary election was attended by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and APC officials from the party’s national headquarters.
Governor Zulum was accompanied by the APC consensus gubernatorial candidate, Engineer Mustapha Gubio, the Secretary to the State Government, Bukar Tijani, and the Acting Chief of Staff, Doctor Babagana Mustapha Mallumbe.
