Mubarak Ahmad-Gumi, son of prominent Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has declared his intention to contest for a seat in the Kaduna State House of Assembly in 2027.
He announced that he will seek election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to represent the Doka/Gabasawa constituency.
Ahmad-Gumi said his decision followed persistent calls from residents of the area who asked him to step forward and offer himself for public service.
He is currently serving as a legislative aide to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas
According to him, the role has given him direct exposure to legislative duties and public policy processes.
“My legislative experience has given me firsthand insight into how laws are shaped, how policies impact citizens, and how vital effective representation is,” he stated.
He explained that his move from social media advocacy into partisan politics is driven by the need for young Nigerians to participate actively in governance rather than remain only online commentators.
“Young Nigerians today are technologically skilled, innovative, and globally connected. We understand entrepreneurship and modern problem-solving. If we truly want change, we must move beyond online discussions to active political participation,” he said.
Ahmad-Gumi noted that accountability and open access to leadership would define his style of representation if elected.
He said his political ambition is anchored on service, constant engagement with constituents, and translating their concerns into practical legislative action.
Describing Nigeria’s current political climate as a “generational crossroads,” he called for leadership that combines experience with youthful energy.
He added that youth involvement in politics should be seen as a process of renewal rather than confrontation, stressing that steady participation would eventually lead to balanced and inclusive governance.
He also urged Nigerians to look beyond ethnic and religious differences, saying national development requires shared responsibility.
According to him, politics should not be left to a few individuals but embraced as a civic duty by all citizens.
Ahmad-Gumi holds a Bachelor’s degree in Management Information Systems with a minor in Public Administration from the University of Sharjah.
