As Nigeria approaches another general election cycle in 2027, new voices are beginning to emerge, offering fresh perspectives and renewed hope for leadership. One of such voices is Bashir Hassan Ekoja, a vibrant young man in his 30s, who has declared his intention to contest for the Benue State Senatorial seat under the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Ekoja represents a new generation of leaders – youthful, visionary, and determined to bridge the gap between the people and governance. At a time when Nigerians are yearning for inclusiveness and practical solutions to their everyday challenges, his aspiration resonates with many who believe politics should no longer be a preserve of the old guard.
Born and raised with a deep connection to his roots, Bashir Hassan Ekoja has consistently shown passion for community development, youth empowerment, and accountability in public service. Friends and associates describe him as a bridge-builder with a strong sense of justice and fairness – qualities that are critical in legislative representation.
Unlike many politicians whose ambitions are driven by personal interests, Ekoja’s political journey stems from a desire to give voice to the voiceless and champion policies that will uplift ordinary citizens. His choice of the ADC, a party known for its progressive ideology, further underscores his commitment to people-centered leadership and transparent governance.
Supporters say his youthful energy, combined with his understanding of modern governance, positions him as a candidate who can effectively represent Benue at the National Assembly. With unemployment, insecurity, and poor infrastructure topping the concerns of his constituents, Ekoja has pledged to make laws and push for policies that directly address these challenges.
As the countdown to 2027 begins, Bashir Hassan Ekoja is gradually becoming a name to watch in Benue politics. His candidacy is not just about winning a seat in the Senate but about inspiring a new wave of political participation among young people across the state.
In his own words, “It is time for a new generation of leaders to step forward with courage and compassion, not just to occupy offices, but to serve the people with sincerity.”
With determination in his heart and the support of his party and community, Bashir Hassan Ekoja represents more than a candidacy – he represents the renewed hope of a people eager for change
