2027: Gubio Picks APC Governorship Nomination Form in Borno



By Joy Christopher

A former Commissioner for Works and Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (RRR) in Borno State, Mustapha Gubio, has obtained the governorship nomination form of the All Progressives Congress ahead of the 2027 election.

Gubio’s move signals the possible emergence of a competitive race within the party, as indications suggest the APC may opt for primary elections rather than adopting a consensus candidate for the governorship ticket.

Sources in Maiduguri revealed that the aspirant has also formally presented his ambition to Governor Babagana Zulum at the Government House.

He was accompanied during the visit by the Chief Whip of the Senate, Mohammed Tahir Monguno.

Political observers note that Gubio may be the first among several aspirants expected to join the race. Party stakeholders have indicated that more than a dozen contenders could obtain expression of interest and nomination forms in the lead-up to the election.

Governor Zulum has repeatedly stated that he has no preferred successor, maintaining that the emergence of the next governor will be determined through due process.

Meanwhile, key stakeholders within the party—including traditional and religious leaders, as well as members of the organised private sector—are said to be focused on ensuring that whoever emerges as governor will sustain and build on the state’s socio-economic development programmes.

    I just hope whoever emerges focuses on continuing development in Borno. That should be the main goal, not just politics.

    What matters most is not ambition, but clear plans for security and development.

GLOBAL ECONOMIC UPDATE

  Global Economic Update  By Maiva Maryamu Joshua. March 31,2026 The global economy today is going through a very delicate phase, where progress and uncertainty exist side by side. After the shocks of recent years, many countries are still trying to fully stabilize their economies while also preparing for future challenges. One of the major issues shaping the world economy is inflation. Although there has been some improvement compared to previous years, the cost of living is still relatively high in many parts of the world. Basic needs such as food, transportation, and housing remain expensive, especially in developing countries. To control inflation, central banks in countries like the United States and those in Europe have kept interest rates relatively high. While this helps reduce inflation, it also makes borrowing more expensive for businesses and individuals, slowing down economic activities. Another important aspect is economic growth. Growth is not the same everywhere...

Nigeria’s Security Challenges

 Nigeria’s Security Challenges: Progress Amid Persistent Threats By Maiva Maryamu Joshua. Nigeria continues to grapple with complex security issues that affect communities from the bustling cities to remote rural areas. Banditry, terrorism linked to groups like Boko Haram factions and ISWAP, widespread kidnapping for ransom, and occasional communal clashes remain serious concerns, particularly in the North-East, North-West, and parts of the North-Central regions. These incidents have resulted in tragic loss of lives, displacement of populations, and destruction of property, creating an atmosphere of unease for many citizens. The impact extends beyond immediate safety. Farmers in affected zones often hesitate to tend their lands, contributing to reduced agricultural output and higher food prices. Businesses face disruptions, while families endure emotional and financial strain from the constant threat of violence. In response, the Federal Government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu...
