The decision to adopt Gubio was made during a stakeholders’ meeting chaired by Vice President Kashim Shettima. Senator Kaka Lawan withdrew from the governorship race to support Gubio, demonstrating political unity among party members. Governor Zulum purchased the party’s Nomination and Expression of Interest forms for Gubio, further solidifying his candidacy.

Key facts:

• Engr Mustafa Gubio was presented as the consensus APC governorship candidate for Borno State by Governor Babagana Zulum.
• The presentation took place at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
• Zulum commended President Bola Tinubu for his support in Gubio’s emergence as the candidate.
• The meeting included various political stakeholders from Borno State.

Zulum expressed gratitude towards President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his leadership and unprecedented support for Borno State and the APC. He stated, “I wish to express my profound gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the leadership he is providing in the country and for the enormous support to Borno State as well as the APC, which has been unprecedented.” This endorsement could significantly influence voter sentiment leading up to the elections.

The APC has been working towards a consensus candidate to strengthen party unity ahead of the 2027 elections. However, uncertainties remain regarding how this consolidation will impact other potential candidates and factions within the party.
