The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kebbi State has chosen Alhaji Ibrahim Muhammad Augie to be the new running mate of Governor Nasir Idris for the 2027 gubernatorial election, according to a statement made on Sunday at the Presidential Lodge in Birnin Kebbi.

The reason for dropping the incumbent Deputy Governor, Senator Umar Abubakar Tafida Arugungu, from the ticket was due to professional legal advice regarding his eligibility for the 2027 election. The governor's office emphasized that there was no disagreement between Idris and his deputy, and asked all politicians, APC members, and supporters to accept the decision and unite for the party's success in the upcoming election.
Governor Idris also assured the party's supporters that he would collaborate with the new running mate, Ibrahim Muhammad Augie, and urged everyone to stay focused on the state's development.
