The Coalition for Yobe East Progressive Youths has called on Senator Ahmed Lawan to contest for Yobe governorship in 2027.
The president of the coalition, Yarima Goni, made the call at a news briefing on Sunday in Damaturu.
Mr Goni cited the need for strong and visionary leadership to drive the state towards prosperity, given its slow pace of progress compared with other states, as the reason for the call.
He praised Mr Lawan’s qualities of integrity, vision and effective governance, as well as his proven track record.
Mr Goni urged Mr Lawan to heed the call of duty and offer himself as a governorship aspirant in 2027.
He assured that the group would rally behind Mr Lawan and mobilise support for him to ensure that he clinched the position.
Mr Goni listed the group’s vision for the state under Mr Lawan’s leadership to include access to quality education, thriving businesses and improved infrastructure.
He called on all stakeholders to unite in this endeavour to secure a promising future for the state.
