The posters, prominently featuring the slogan “Kaura Daullar Usmaniya,” are part of his campaign under the banner of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
As residents navigate through the state, they are met with a barrage of colorful posters plastered across major roads, overhead bridges, underpasses, and roundabouts, creating a visual spectacle that is impossible to ignore. While the posters serve as a reminder of Governor Bala’s presidential ambitions, they have also sparked debates among citizens about the appropriateness of such displays in public spaces.

Local business owners and pedestrians have expressed mixed feelings about the campaign’s aggressive visual presence. Some view it as a necessary step for political engagement, while others believe it detracts from the aesthetic appeal of the city and contributes to urban clutter.
“This is politics at its best,” said a local shop owner who wished to remain anonymous. “But honestly, it feels like we’re drowning in posters. It’s overwhelming, and it doesn’t really add to the conversation about the issues that matter.”
Governor Bala’s campaign strategy appears to be gaining traction as the 2027 elections draw nearer. Known for his focus on infrastructural development and social welfare programs during his tenure in Bauchi, his supporters are optimistic that these initiatives will resonate with voters in Adamawa and beyond.

Political analysts suggest that the flood of posters is just the beginning of an extensive campaign season that will see candidates ramping up their visibility as the election date approaches. The overwhelming presence of Bala’s campaign materials may signal a well-coordinated effort to establish a strong foothold in the region ahead of the primaries.
As Adamawa residents grapple with the sudden influx of campaign materials, the question remains: will Governor Bala’s bold move pay off in the quest for the presidency, or will it merely add to the noise of a crowded political landscape? Only time will tell as the 2027 elections draw closer.
