The Coalition of Northern Youth Consultative Movement (CNYCM) has vehemently denounced the Plateau Progressive Movement (PPM) for levelling baseless and malicious allegations against Senator Shehu Umar Buba, who chairs the Senate Committee on National Security and Intelligence. PPM’s claims of Senator Buba having “alarming involvement with bandits and criminal elements” in Bauchi and Plateau States have been dismissed by CNYCM as false and motivated by hatred rather than factual evidence, according to a press statement signed by Comrade Yusuf Musa Audu (National Coordinator) and Bilal Galadima (National Secretary).

CNYCM extols Senator Buba’s noteworthy efforts in tackling insecurity, asserting that his contributions merit commendation rather than unwarranted criticism. The group perceives these allegations as a politically motivated smear campaign likely aimed at tarnishing Senator Buba’s reputation, possibly in the context of forthcoming political engagements. CNYCM underscores Senator Buba’s positive impacts, highlighting his role in addressing security challenges and fostering stability in the Northern region.
Senator Buba has demonstrated profound dedication through his chairmanship, driving key legislative and oversight initiatives aimed at bolstering national security and mitigating threats affecting communities. His work reflects a deep understanding of the complex security dynamics shaping the region’s landscape.
The CNYCM acknowledges Senator Buba’s pivotal role in shaping security policies and fostering dialogue on critical issues affecting peace and stability. His steadfast approach to addressing insecurity has earned him recognition among stakeholders committed to Nigeria’s progress.
Given his impressive track record and deep-rooted connection to Bauchi State, the CNYCM urges Senator Shehu Umar Buba to consider contesting the Governorship race in Bauchi State come 2027. We believe his leadership, security acumen, and vision for development position him as a compelling candidate capable of steering Bauchi towards greater prosperity and stability. Insha Allah, his candidacy could herald a new chapter of progress for the state., the group said
The CNYCM expresses confidence that Senator Buba’s blend of experience, security expertise, and commitment to public service makes him a strong contender for the position. We assert that no amount of distraction or propaganda can diminish the momentum behind his potential candidacy.
