Former Senate President Ahmad Lawan has conveyed his congratulations to Musa Mustapha, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), on emerging as the Senator-elect in the recently concluded Yobe East senatorial bye-election.
Mustapha secured victory in the Yobe East Bye-Election, with a total of 68,778 votes, surpassing Aji Kolomi (Ajiko) of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), who garnered 18,878 votes.
Taking over from Sen. Ibrahim Gaidam, appointed as Minister of Police Affairs by President Bola Tinubu last year, Mustapha brings his experience as the former Commissioner for Transportation and Energy in Yobe State to his role as the APC candidate in the bye-election.
Senator Lawan, representing Yobe North Senatorial District in the National Assembly, commended the leadership of Yobe State Governor, Rt. Hon. Mai Mala Buni, for steering the Yobe State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress in the right direction. Lawan attributed the success to Gov. Buni’s distinctive governance approach and unwavering commitment to the APC, creating a favorable environment for electoral victories.
Expressing confidence in Senator-elect Mustapha’s capability to represent the people of Yobe East in the 10th Senate, Lawan’s congratulatory message underscores the significance of effective leadership and the continued progress of the APC in the state.
