Bukar Abba Ibrahim

His Excellency, Alhaji, Dr. Bukar Abba Ibrahim (CON, FNIQS, FNIAE), Three times Governor of Yobe State, Three times Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Galadiman Gazargamo Sardaunan Potiskum, Walin Gujba. This is just to use a few of his over forty titles, but he is fondly called Bukar, using just his first name, which is strange for a Nigerian politician. Politicians in Nigeria love praise names and flattering titles. Bukar started as a civil servant and the only indigenous quantity surveyor in Borno State. He became Commissioner in Borno and later Governor of Yobe State. He holds the record as the longest serving Governor in Nigeria. He then went on to the Senate where he is now a third term Senator.
