The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced its governorship candidate for the 2027 general elections in Nasarawa, following a substitution primary on Tuesday in Lafia. Mr. Musa Shugaba-Abdullahi emerged victorious in the primary and will represent the party in the upcoming election. The primary also yielded five candidates for the Nasarawa State House of Assembly: Dr. Peter Onigah, Iliya Emmanuel Ayas, Lucy Kigbu-Anzaku, Mohammed Ramalan, and Hussaini Mustapha-Ganuwa.
The substitution primary was organized due to the absence of candidates in some constituencies during the party's May primaries, leading to the appointment of placeholders. NDC State Chairman, Comrade Dogo Shammah, revealed that the substitution was necessary for a fair electoral process. Musa Shugaba-Abdullahi, after his affirmation, expressed his administration's commitment to implementing a five-point agenda focused on education, healthcare, infrastructure, empowerment, and security, with free and compulsory education for children aged three to 19 as a key priority.
