Abba Sayyadi Ruma was the Chairman of Batsari Local Government Area in Katsina State in 2003, and strongly supported the PDP candidates.[4]

He became Secretary to the Katsina State Government in 2003, when Umaru Musa Yar'Adua was governor.[1]

Minister of Agriculture and Water Resources

In 2007, President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua appointed Dr. Abba Ruma Minister of Agriculture and Water Resources.[6]

Abba Sayyadi Ruma is seen as one of Yar'Adua's most esteemed colleagues.[7]

It had been expected that Yar'Adua would appoint Ruma as minister of education, since Ruma had previously served as minister of state for education and was widely believed to be part of the reform process.[8]

In May 2008, Ruma denied reports that Nigeria was suffering from a food crisis, saying the only problem was with the rising cost of rice. He defended his ministry's decision to centralize distribution of fertilizer rather than relying on private enterprise, and noted that the government was taking action to improve access to credit by farmers and to supply more tractors. But the government would import rice if needed to cushion cost increases.[9]

In July 2009, talking to a stakeholders' roundtable of the National Food Security Advocacy Group, he said that in the past middlemen contractors and politicians skimmed off subsidies for fertilizers which did not get to the farmers in time for the planting season, and then were grossly overpriced.[10]

Speaking to journalists in November 2009 on the government’s Public Private Partnership in the area of rice production, Ruma explained the government was looking at linking up large-scale private sector operators with farmer's cooperative groups to achieve economies of scale, and was providing funds for small-scale irrigation with focus on the most productive areas. N200 billion was available for farmer's credit, but release of the funds would be carefully monitored to ensure it went to the intended recipients.[11]

In November 2009, Abba Sayyadi Ruma was considered to be leader of a faction of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) opposed to the reelection in 2011 of Governor Ibrahim Shema.[12]

His "Abuja Group", which included Dr. Tanimu Yakubu, Senator Garba Yakubu Lado and businessman Dahiru Mangal, were all said to be acolytes of Yar’Adua.[13]
