Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan has withdrawn from the Yobe governorship race, citing “deep reflection and wide consultations” with supporters. The move comes after a strategic meeting with APC stalwart Ibrahim Geidam, who’s backing Lawan’s bid for the Yobe North Senatorial District seat.
Sources say Lawan’s decision aims to preserve party unity ahead of the 2027 elections. Geidam has pledged APC’s support for Lawan’s Senate bid, positioning him for a strong comeback.
The move is seen as a calculated shift, easing tensions within the party. Lawan’s exit reshapes the governorship race, opening a new chapter in his political journey.
