BREAKING: Engr. Abubakar Musa Bappah Resigns from FERMA Board, Declares Gombe Governorship Ambition

In a significant political development, Engr. Abubakar Musa Bappah has officially resigned from his position on the Board of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) to pursue his ambition of becoming the next Governor of Gombe State.

The resignation, which takes immediate effect, signals Bappah’s full commitment to the political race ahead of the forthcoming gubernatorial elections. Sources close to the former board member reveal that the decision was made after extensive consultations with political stakeholders, supporters, and community leaders across Gombe State.

Engr. Bappah, a seasoned engineer and public servant, has been widely recognized for his contributions to infrastructure development during his tenure at FERMA. His exit from the board marks the end of a chapter in federal service and the beginning of what many observers describe as a potentially impactful political journey.

In his resignation statement, Bappah expressed gratitude to the federal government for the opportunity to serve, noting that his experience at FERMA has equipped him with the administrative and leadership skills necessary to govern effectively.

“I am deeply honored to have served on the FERMA Board. However, after careful reflection and in response to the calls from my people, I have decided to step down and offer myself for service as Governor of Gombe State,” he stated.

Political analysts believe Bappah’s entry into the race could reshape the dynamics of the upcoming election, given his technocratic background and growing grassroots support. His campaign is expected to focus on infrastructure development, economic empowerment, youth engagement, and improved governance.

Supporters across Gombe have already begun mobilizing, describing his candidacy as a “new dawn” for the state. Meanwhile, party insiders hint that formal declarations and campaign activities will commence in the coming weeks.

As the political landscape in Gombe State continues to evolve, all eyes will be on Engr. Bappah as he transitions from federal service to state-level politics, aiming to secure the mandate of the people.
