Hon. Usman Bawa ABG Receives Certificate of Return as PDP’s Kaduna Governorship Flagbearer

By El-Masjid Abdul Umar (Masallaci)
26/06/2026

Yesterday in Abuja, Hon. Usman Bawa ABG formally received his Certificate of Return as the duly elected governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for Kaduna State. The presentation, conducted by the Party’s National Working Committee, ratifies the mandate freely given to him by PDP delegates and confirms him as the standard-bearer who will fly the Party’s flag in the 2027 governorship election.

This moment is more than ceremonial. A Certificate of Return is the Party’s endorsement of competence, capacity, and commitment. For Kaduna, it represents the emergence of a leader whose political journey has been defined by grassroots engagement, legislative experience, and an unwavering belief in inclusive development. Hon. Bawa ABG does not enter this race as a stranger to the people’s struggles; he enters it as a product of those struggles.

Kaduna State stands at a crossroads. The conversations in every market, classroom, and farmstead are the same: insecurity that has displaced communities, a weakening economy that has eroded household incomes, and a youth population yearning for opportunity rather than rhetoric. These are not abstract problems. They are the daily reality of families across the 23 local governments.

What Kaduna requires now is leadership that understands the urgency of this moment. Leadership that will prioritize security without profiling, rebuild trust between government and governed, invest in agriculture and small businesses, and place education and healthcare at the center of public policy. Hon. Usman Bawa ABG has articulated a vision rooted in those priorities, a Kaduna where growth is shared, justice is impartial, and every citizen feels they have a stake in the future.

Certificates validate candidacy, but elections are won by conviction and collective action. The task before the people of Kaduna is now clear. If we want a government that listens before it acts, that plans before it promises, and that serves before it is served, then we must rally behind Hon. Usman Bawa ABG.

2027 is not just another election cycle. It is an opportunity to choose progress over stagnation, unity over division, and competence over convenience. The progress Kaduna seeks will not arrive by chance. It will arrive when citizens turn their hope into votes and their votes into governance.

Let the mandate given by PDP delegates yesterday be amplified by the mandate of the people in 2027. Hon. Usman Bawa ABG has received the Party’s certificate. Now, Kaduna must give him the people’s certificate - the ballot.

For the dignity of our communities, the security of our children, and the prosperity of our state, the time to stand with Hon. Usman Bawa ABG is now.

PDP… Power to the People.
