The candidates pledged to tackle insecurity, poverty, and out-of-school children in the region. They declared their support for Atiku Abubakar's plan to restore petrol subsidy. The candidates also promised to pay a minimum wage of N110,000 for workers in the region if elected. The signing of the Northwest ADC Governorship Candidates’ Compact 2027–2031 was held in Abuja, led by Abubakar Malami, a former Attorney General of the Federation and the Kebbi State governorship candidate. Malami highlighted the crisis-ridden state of the region, stating that over 16,000 lives have been lost due to insecurity since June 2023. He emphasized that the region accounts for 45% of Nigeria's out-of-school children. The candidates committed to reform with responsibility, relief with accountability, and growth that citizens can feel. They also vowed to establish a technology-enabled surveillance and rapid-response network, deploy drones region-wide, and establish a North-west Regional Security Coordination.",
