Leader of the Coalition added that,”It is also an established fact that Distinguished Senator Halliru Dauda Jika is one of the candidates and the most popular among them. We therefore find it necessary to reiterate to the good people of Bauchi State that they should give him their support in his quest to rescue the State and meet its long-standing need for good governance and purposeful leadership.”
He added, “Distinguished Senator Halliru Dauda Jika is currently undergoing rigorous consultations and heart-to-heart engagements with the people, the State elders, women and youths on how best to provide an effective governance in 2027 if elected.”

Ahmed Yero stressed, “We are mobilising about 10,000 volunteers in order to ensure the election of Halliru Jika as Governor of our State. They will be going round to sensitize the people on the programmes of the ADC and the Gubernatorial Candidate.”
He also solicited the support of the mass media to help amplify the voices of the Gubernatorial Candidate during the electioneering period and to give him their maximum support.
