Political tension is mounting in Yobe State following unconfirmed reports that the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Baba Malam Wali, has tendered his resignation ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
Multiple sources within the state’s political circles hinted that Wali may be positioning himself to join the race to succeed Governor Mai Mala Buni, whose tenure is expected to end in 2027. However, there has been no official statement from the Yobe State government confirming the development.
Adding to the intrigue, insiders claim that the purported resignation may have been rejected by Governor Buni, though this remains speculative at the time of filing this report.

The rumours have triggered palpable tension within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, with party stakeholders reportedly divided over succession permutations and the timing of political realignments.
Wali, a key figure in the Buni administration, has long been considered an influential technocrat and political strategist haven considered as one of the longest serving SSG with two term with Gov. Buni and one term with former Governor Ibrahim Gaidam.
His alleged ambition is seen by observers as capable of reshaping the political landscape in Yobe as he will be the first to be elected governor from Zone C if nominated by the party and he eventually wins at the general polls.
