Political posters of Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, have taken over the streets of Bauchi as early campaigns for the 2027 presidential race begin to emerge.
Daily Trust observed that the posters, boldly inscribed with “Kaura for President 2027”, were plastered at strategic locations such as roundabouts, electric poles, and signboards across the state capital. Key areas affected include Railway Road, Sabon Titin Karofi, and Kofar Dumi Street.
A youth identified as Aminu Auwal, one of the individuals hired to paste the posters, revealed that they were contracted by two political figures.
“We were directed to post the governor’s posters along major streets of Bauchi State. We started the work around 1am today and we are hoping to finish it today,” Auwal said.
He named the sponsors of the exercise as Ya’u Ortega and Talolo, although efforts to reach both men for comments were unsuccessful as their phone numbers did not connect as of press time.
The sudden appearance of the posters has sparked public interest and speculation about Governor Bala Mohammed’s political ambitions ahead of the 2027 general elections.
While there has been no official statement from the governor’s camp, the move is being interpreted by many as an early indication of a potential presidential bid.
More updates to follow as the story develops.
