The Shehu Buba Umar Vanguard for Governor 2027 (SBU-Vanguard) has reaffirmed its commitment to mobilizing support for Senator Shehu Buba Umar's gubernatorial bid in Bauchi State under the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking at a press conference in Katagum Local Government area of Bauchi, the director-general of SBU-Vanguard, Engr. Ishaq S. Dabo, urged the APC leadership to ensure a free, fair, and credible primary election. "Imposing candidates would weaken the party, whereas respecting the people's choice would strengthen democracy," he emphasized.
Hon. Dabo praised Senator Umar's leadership qualities, citing his integrity, inclusiveness, and dedication to leadership. "As the only elected APC Senator from Bauchi State, Senator Shehu Buba Umar has demonstrated his commitment to the welfare of the people, particularly during challenging times like the recent floods," he said.
The SBU-Vanguard commended Senator Umar's efforts to strengthen the APC and his contributions to the state, including sponsoring bills for the establishment of the National Orthopaedic Hospital and a cybercrime legislation bill. Dabo also highlighted Senator Umar's advocacy for the establishment of a Customs Training College, construction of key roads, and renovation of hospitals and primary schools.
Senator Umar's empowerment programs for farmers, youth entrepreneurs, and vulnerable groups were also praised. "Shehu Buba has empowered farmers with modern equipment, training, and startup capital, and provided relief materials and aid to flood victims," Dabo said.
The SBU-Vanguard reaffirmed its commitment to Senator Umar's gubernatorial ambition, pledging to work tirelessly until he is sworn in as governor in 2027. Hon. Dabo invited all sons and daughters of Bauchi State to join the movement for positive change and development. "Together, we can build a better future for our state," he concluded.
