Jigawa ADC governorship candidate disowns purported power-sharing deal

Senator Sabo Muhammed Na Kudu, the ADC governorship candidate for Jigawa State, has rejected a purported power-sharing agreement allegedly reached with former candidate Hon. Bashir Adamu Jumbo. Na Kudu's disclaimer, dated August 8, 2026, explicitly states that he had no involvement in the agreement, which reportedly dated back to July 3, 2026.

He vehemently denies any role in negotiating, signing, approving, or ratifying the document, labeling it as false and misleading. The ADC candidate specifically disputes the 60:40 power-sharing arrangement, including provisions for the deputy governorship position and other elective offices. Na Kudu emphasizes that he neither signed the document nor authorized anyone to sign on his behalf.

He urges party supporters, the public, and media organizations to disregard the document and warns of legal action against any party responsible for creating or distributing the false agreement. This development is part of the political realignments taking place ahead of the 2027 Jigawa State governorship election.
