It is now official that Mustapha Gubio has taken a major step toward contesting the governorship of Borno State.
This afternoon, the governorship hopeful was accompanied by Abba Audu Benisheikh to collect his nomination form, signaling his formal entry into the race for the position of governor.
Sources close to the development said the move aligns with ongoing political discussions on zoning arrangements, with indications that the governorship position is expected to rotate to the northern part of the state following the current tenure from the central zone.
Political observers note that the collection of nomination forms marks the beginning of intensified consultations and mobilization ahead of party primaries and the forthcoming governorship election.
More details are expected to emerge as stakeholders and party officials react to the development.
