  "summary": "The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has listed Musa Angbazo as the Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate for the 2027 Nasarawa State governorship election. However, the campaign organisation of former Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, claims that the retired police chief is the authentic SDP candidate, according to Premium Times.\n\nINEC published a list of 15 governorship candidates for the Nasarawa State election, including Musa Adamu Angbazo of the SDP. The list also includes candidates from other parties, such as Ahmed Aliyu Wadada of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Emmanuel David Ombugadu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as reported by Daily Trust.\n\nThe disagreement over the SDP candidate has sparked a dispute, with Daily Trust quoting the Campaign Director General of Mohammed Adamu's Gubernatorial Campaign Organisation, Abdullahi Yammani, expressing concerns. There is no further information available on the matter.",
