The battle for Borno State’s top seat has begun in earnest as Engr. Mustapha Gubio, former Commissioner of Works under Governor Babagana Umara Zulum, officially picked up the N50 million governorship nomination form of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 elections.
In a show of political strength, Gubio was flanked by prominent party figures, including Senator Mohammed Tahir Monguno and other APC stalwarts, signaling strong backing within the ruling party’s Borno structure.
The high-profile move is seen as a bold declaration of intent, positioning Gubio as a major contender in what is expected to be a fiercely contested race.
Political watchers say his entry could reshape the dynamics of the APC primaries, as aspirants begin to line up for the coveted ticket.
With alliances forming and stakes rising, the road to 2027 in Borno is already heating up.
