Alhaji Mohammed Mani, the former Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), has been chosen as the People's Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for Niger State. Mani succeeded Abubakar Sulaiman, who withdrew from the race in May to prioritize party unity and progress.
PDP leaders from throughout the state endorsed Mani's candidacy during a gathering at the state party headquarters. Speaking to the delegates, Mani pledged to deliver the state to the PDP in the upcoming election and asked for their support to achieve this goal.
Mani had previously run for the governorship ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) but lost the primary election. He was one of several candidates who were defeated and later switched their allegiance to the PDP.
