Ex-IG Adamu emerges SDP Nasarawa gov candidate

Mohammed Abubakar Adamu, a former Inspector-General of Police, has been chosen as the Social Democratic Party's (SDP) candidate for the 2027 Nasarawa State governorship election. According to the Daily Post Nigeria, Adamu emerged as the candidate through an affirmation voice vote monitored by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), following the withdrawal of the party's former candidate, Musa Adamu Angba.

Adamu has promised to focus on improving roads, healthcare, and other basic services, particularly in rural communities, if elected governor. He stated that his campaign would concentrate on practical issues affecting each ward and local government area, with specific plans to be outlined for every local government and community.

The SDP's Electoral Committee for Nasarawa State, led by Chairman Barrister Joseph Achille, conducted the replacement primary election across all 13 local government areas of the state, with a total of 28,637 delegates present and casting their votes, as reported by Daily Trust.
