A support group within the All Progressives Congress, Fusion 774, has endorsed Capt. Mohammed Tukur Buratai for the Borno State House of Assembly seat representing Biu Constituency ahead of the forthcoming general elections.

The group announced its endorsement in a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja by its National Coordinator Sadiq Jikta.

Fusion 774 described Mr Buratai’s decision to contest the seat as a move that reflects commitment to public service and democratic participation.

The group said the former military officer possesses the leadership qualities and experience needed to contribute to lawmaking and development in Borno State.

“Capt. Mohammed Tukur Buratai represents the kind of young and patriotic Nigerian our democracy requires at this critical moment,” the statement said.

“He served the nation with honour in the aviation sector, and his decision to seek elective office demonstrates his readiness to contribute to governance and community development.”

According to the group, the state needs legislators who can address issues related to youth empowerment, education, peacebuilding and post-conflict reconstruction.

Fusion 774 expressed confidence that Mr Buratai would bring fresh ideas and a strong understanding of security and governance issues to the state assembly if elected.

The group also noted that the retired military officer’s aspiration continues a legacy of public service associated with his father, Tukur Yusuf Buratai.

“His father served the country in the military, and now Capt. Mohammed Tukur Buratai is stepping forward to serve through democratic representation,” the statement added.

Fusion 774 called on residents of the Biu Constituency, party stakeholders and supporters of the APC to support the aspiration.

The group further pledged to mobilise grassroots support and encourage peaceful, issue-based campaigns throughout the election period.

It also urged Nigerian youths to participate actively in politics and leadership, stressing the need for competent and committed citizens to shape the country’s future.
