Jonathan Vatsa, the former Information, Culture and Tourism Commissioner for Niger State, has been appointed the Spokesperson and Director of Contacts and Mobilisation for the Social Democratic Party's (SDP) governorship campaign council for the 2027 elections. This move came shortly after Vatsa defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the SDP, leaving behind over 200 supporters.
The SDP's governorship candidate, Mohammed Ndarani Mohammed, SAN, announced the appointment in a letter personally signed by him. Vatsa's appointment is seen as a significant boost for the SDP's campaign efforts, given his extensive political experience, media skills, and grassroots influence. The SDP emphasized that Vatsa's dual roles as spokesperson and Director of Contacts and Mobilisation would be instrumental in shaping public opinion and securing votes across the state's 25 local government areas, 247 political wards, and 4,950 polling units.
