Shortly after his declaration, Barr Kashim Ibrahim accepted the mandate given to him by the delegates saying that, “the contest has just begun for 2023. The PDP is ready to beat every other opposition”.
He added that “We must be a united party to be able to defeat others in the general elections. I am appealing to all of you to rally around and give the maximum support needed to win the general elections come 2023.”
The PDP gubernatorial candidate eulogized the State Governor, Sen Bala Mohammed Abdulkadir for providing what he described as a purposeful leadership that has transformed Bauchi State far above its peers.

He then thanked the delegates for electing him as the gubernatorial candidate of the party just as he commended the PDP for allowing a level playing field which led to the emergence of all the candidates of the party pronounced rancour.
