Former Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has been chosen as the new candidate.\n\nAccording to the Daily Post Nigeria, Adamu emerged as the SDP candidate through a direct primary held on Saturday, which was monitored by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). This followed the withdrawal of the party's former candidate, Musa Adamu Angbazo, who was initially listed by INEC.\n\nAdamu has promised to focus on roads, healthcare, and other basic services, especially in rural communities, if elected governor. He stated that his campaign would focus on practical issues affecting each ward and local government area.",
