He charged the campaign team to approach the assignment with a common purpose, ensuring that the party records an overwhelming victory across all levels of the electoral contest.
Also speaking, Ibrahim Gaidam, the Minister of Police Affairs and Chairman of the Campaign Council, called for unity, collective responsibility and sustained engagement with party members and supporters.
He urged members of the Council to work in harmony, close ranks and deploy their individual and collective political strengths towards achieving total victory for the APC, from top to bottom.
Gaidam stressed that the success of the campaign would depend on the ability of members to work as a united team, maintain close contact with the electorate and effectively communicate the party’s programmes and achievements.
In his remarks, Mohammed Gadaka, the APC State Chairman, commended Governor Buni for his consistent support for the party and commitment to strengthening its structures across the state.
Gadaka urged members of the newly inaugurated campaign council to embrace teamwork, remain focused and discharge their respective assignments with dedication, noting that the party’s success in the 2027 general elections would depend largely on their collective commitment and effectiveness.

He pledged that members would give their best in mobilising voters, strengthening the party’s grassroots presence and ensuring the success of all APC candidates in the forthcoming general elections.
The inauguration marks a major milestone in the APC’s preparations for the 2027 general elections in Yobe State, signalling the commencement of coordinated political mobilisation and renewed efforts to consolidate the party’s electoral strength across the State.
He explained that the initiative was aimed at empowering unemployed graduates, creating opportunities for young people and addressing manpower gaps in the state civil service occasioned by the retirement of serving personnel.
He called for sustained political cooperation and solidarity between the two neighbouring states, noting that the time had come for Yobe to reciprocate the support and goodwill it had consistently enjoyed.
Governor Buni urged party members to demonstrate their appreciation through unwavering loyalty to the APC and by mobilising support for all its candidates, from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu down to the state and other elective positions.
He further charged campaign directors and coordinators to conduct their mobilisation with humility, kindness and inclusiveness, ensuring that no segment of society was left behind, particularly women and persons with disabilities.
