The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial candidate in Kaduna State, Shehu Bawa ABG, has expressed confidence that the party will return to power in the state in 2027. Bawa made this statement while interacting with journalists at his campaign office in Kaduna, discussing his plans for the state and the opposition party's preparations for the 2027 governorship election. He emphasized that the PDP is engaging stakeholders across the state to explain why voters should demand a change of government.

According to Bawa, the ruling party has failed to prioritize projects according to the needs of communities, and public funds should be deployed to projects that directly address the priorities identified by residents. He stated that as a governor, he would adopt a "bottom-to-top approach" to development, including consultations with communities before deciding which projects to execute. This approach, he believes, will ensure that the needs of the people are met.

Bawa further explained that his administration would pursue a different strategy on security, one that goes beyond responding to attacks after they occur. He emphasized that residents should be able to farm, travel, and conduct their businesses without fear of kidnapping or attacks. He envisions a Kaduna where people can live and work without fear, and his administration would take proactive measures to protect the citizens.

The PDP gubernatorial candidate also highlighted the need for a more effective strategy to tackle insecurity in the state. He noted that the current approach has not been effective and that a new approach is needed to address the root causes of insecurity. Bawa's strategy involves engaging with communities and taking proactive measures to prevent attacks.

Bawa's campaign is focused on engaging stakeholders and explaining the need for a change of government in Kaduna State. He believes that the PDP has a better understanding of the needs of the people and can provide a more effective solution to the state's challenges. The PDP is optimistic about its chances in the 2027 election.

The 2027 governorship election in Kaduna State is expected to be a keenly contested one, with the PDP and the All Progressives Congress (APC) likely to be major players. Bawa's promise of a new approach to security, infrastructure, and governance has generated interest among voters, and his campaign is expected to gain momentum in the coming months.

Bawa's vision for Kaduna State is one of peace, prosperity, and development. He believes that with the right approach, the state can be transformed into a place where people can live and work without fear. His campaign is focused on convincing voters that the PDP is the best option for the state in 2027.
