As a philanthropist, he established an international Non-Governmental Organization to primarily address problems bedeviling the people with emphasis on the most wretched on planet earth and irrespective of any affiliation. As an accomplished technocrat, a boardroom manager and captain of industry, he is deploying his intellectuality and courage while rendering personal service to the people with fulfillment.
Today, Usman Adamu Sufi has become a household name not only in Bauchi State but beyond. Sufi says: “he profits more, who serves best”. A statesman, a nationalist by any standard who co-founded the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and placed it on a solidified foundation in Bauchi State in 2019, but declined several calls at the earlier stage to contest the gubernatorial seat of the state until when the going
became too tough and rough for those struggling to fly the flag of the party at the gubernatorial contest, he responded to those several clarion calls and declared his gubernatorial interest to at least save the party he nurtured from public ridicule and annihilation to premature death. Since then, the kept his cool while monitoring the political drama on play at various levels, until this time around, he has made up his mind to declare for the 2027 gubernatorial election after considering series of calls, visits and contacts tailored to the good of the people irrespective of any inclination. In the last few years before his temporal exit from partisan politics, Sufi combined the astuteness of his service in the private sector with the uncommon political wizardry of the equivocal Bauchi State political terrain.
While in service, he dedicated his attention and loyalty to the good of Nigerian state and fell in love with the political thinking of great, indomitable and indefatigable politicians who served Nigeria with passion particularly the likes of Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Ahmadu Bello, Sa’adu Zungur, Adamu Tafawa Balewa, Abubakar Tatari Ali, Sule Katagum, AD Rufa’i Misau, Disina Muhammed, Muhammadu Kura Misau, Sen. Bashir Mustapha, Ibrahim Dimis, Zagi Dass, Safiyanu Duguri, Abdulkadir Mijinyawa and several other patriots of Bauchi State extraction. As he planned his strategies, he quietly began to hone his skills in politics and after establishing the necessary contacts, he threw himself unabashedly into the ever troubled political water of Nigerian politics. No sooner he started unleashing his strategies interest in politics, than his star started to shine like the northern star and several political parties showed uncommon predilection towards him as a man of great intellect, sagacity, witty and with imbued uncommon thinking and oratory. Without any equivocation, Usman Adamu Sufi has become the vessel to be used to locate Bauchi State on the pedestal of greatness, advancement, dynamism, victory and sustainable growth. In recognition of his loyalty and commitment to the welfare of the people without an asking, he has been recognized as a politician of substance for trust. He is a renowned respecter of the traditional institution and regards the institution as the custodian of our customs, culture and values. He has been duly recognized by the traditional institution for his loyalty, commitment and concern to the revered institution and to humanity. Commendably today, Usman Adamu Sufi is an unquestioned political character endowed with great attributes of leadership, which will remain as one of Nigeria’s historic figures with time, who excellently is in politics in tandem with the popular will of the majority, by means of selfless and beneficent service(s) unrivalled in the hearts of the people. By his beneficial cordiality, objectivity and sagacity, Sufi has already brought to
bear, incalculable contributions in the effective discharge of his duties, marked by gallant efforts of the mind. Of course, his titanic successes as a boardroom manager, is noted with thunderous applause of spontaneous touching gesture by a vast majority of Nigerians. This outstanding personality, has over the years drilled himself as an exceptional achiever who foreshadowed his future usefulness, politically respectful and
socially too relevant. His dedicated commitments to the etiquettes of good governance, his radical approach to the demands of the people, his passionate desire for improving the welfare of all, his absolute fulfillment in all spheres of service, has today projected him to the social status of high respectability and the rank of an impeccable dignity in naked truth. Sufi’s iron determination to uphold justice with unbending and unyielding resolve, as well as his undoubted fidelity and undivided devotion to the cause of his responsibilities, is the greatest morale booster against the untoward attitudes of our time. His mental alacrity, intellectual ingenuity, actuarial determination, wishful actualization, objective appraisal, fruitful enterprise, and ultimate triumph in public life, have brought him an utmost significance, and cherished memories amongst a
vast majority of the people. In essence, it can reasonably be said that little literature is not sufficient enough to adequately describe a man of Sufi’s collection, full of creativity and purposeful dynamic that Bauchi State stands to gain from his wealth of experience, connections and commitment to the welfare of the people.
By any standard, he is a man of the people who has embarked on a rescue mission targeted at those referred to as the most wretched on planet earth. He has deployed his wealth, time and health to the service of those caught in the web of economic depression and hopelessness. His mission in politics is SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE without attached strings for the good of country, state and humanity.
