About Bashir Yusuf Ibrahim
- Bashir Yusuf Ibrahim (born January 23, 1961) is a Nigerian politician and businessman.
- He is the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM), a Nigerian political party. The PDM, which initially started out as a movement formed in the wake of Nigerians' agitation for a democratic state, was denied registration as an official political party by the Abacha regime.
- Upon the country's return to democracy, the movement, hence, formed a major building block of what would become Nigeria's ruling party, the People's Democratic Party (PDP).
- After years of running the country's affairs and a seeming disconnect between what had been envisioned and what had, in fact, been achieved by the PDP, some members of the PDM decided to leave the PDP and register the movement as a party, so that it could abide by the ideals which guided its formation.
- The PDM was, thus, registered in 2013, with Bashir as the chairman. Mentored by the late Aminu Kano, Bashir has had a public service career spanning several decades, serving in various capacities including that of Special Adviser to both President Olusegun Obasanjo and Vice-President Atiku Abubakar at varying stages of their tenures, and on several committees including the Justice Niki Tobi Committee on the 1999 Constitution, among others. He is a fellow of the Nigerian Leadership Initiative and the Aspen Institute.
