Rear Admiral Sanusi Kashim Ibrahim joins Borno guber race, picks ADC nomination form
Retired naval officer, Sanusi Sir Kashim Ibrahim, has officially joined the race for the Borno State governorship after purchasing the ₦30 million nomination form of the African Democratic Congress ahead of the 2027 elections.
The development positions the retired Rear Admiral among the early contenders seeking to emerge as the ADC’s governorship candidate in Borno State.
Earlier, former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, also obtained the ADC governorship nomination form for Kebbi State, signalling increasing political activity within the opposition party across northern Nigeria.
