Groups Urge Yuguda To Re-contest For Senate In 2019
Some groups have called on a former governor of Bauchi state, Isa Yuguda, to re-contest the Bauchi South Senatorial District seat on the platform Green Party of Nigeria (GPN).
During a courtesy visit to the GPN state secretariat on Wednesday, one of the groups, Dangarba Volunteer Group, express their support for Yuguda so that he could heed the calls by groups and individuals to contest the Senate seat.
Yuguda had contested the Bauchi South Senatorial seat in 2015 after his eight-year tenure as the Bauchi State governor.
He, however, lost to Senator Ali Wakili of the All Progressives Congress ( APC) .
Dangarba Magaji, who is the leader of the group, said they came to rally more support for the former governor to re-contest the seat because they were hopeful that he would deliver more dividends of democracy to the people.
According to him, members of the group have embarked on a massive campaign to canvass support for the governor in all nooks and crannies of the seven local government areas of Bauchi South Senatorial District.
Responding, the Bauchi state chairman of the party, Sani Mohammed Bura, commended the group for its support for the former governor and the call on him to serve his people.
Bura assured them that members of the party would work towards convincing Yuguda to contest the Bauchi South senatorial seat.
