During the Sallah celebrations in Yola, prominent political figures in Adamawa State expressed their support for Dr. Salihu Giri Bakari's bid for the 2027 governorship election. Bakari, a former executive chairman of the Adamawa State Universal Basic Education Board (ADSUBEB) and current director at the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), was praised for his contributions to education and community development.

High-profile endorsements came from various local government representatives, including Shuaibu Alhaji Yahaya Gombi and Augustin Ayuba, who highlighted Bakari's transformative vision for the state's educational infrastructure and his ability to create job opportunities. The support from grassroots leaders, including women from the Chamba community, emphasized Bakari's inclusive approach and proven track record.
