Senator Ibrahim Bomai has officially withdrawn from the 2027 governorship race in Yobe State under the platform of the All Progressives Congress.
Bomai, who currently represents Yobe South in the Senate, announced his decision in a statement issued on Saturday after consultations with party leaders, political associates, and supporters across the state.
According to the senator, the move was made in the interest of unity, peace, and stability within the APC ahead of the 2027 general elections. He explained that his ambition was driven by a desire to contribute to the development and progress of Yobe State.
“After extensive consultations, deep reflection, and discussions with stakeholders and respected elders, I have decided to step down from contesting the governorship position for Yobe State,” he stated.
Bomai also appreciated his supporters for their loyalty, sacrifices, and commitment throughout the political process, urging them to remain calm and continue supporting the progress of the state.
His withdrawal comes shortly after two other APC governorship aspirants, Lawan Kolo Geidam and former Inspector-General of Police Usman Alkali Baba, also stepped down from the race.
