Ex-IGP Adamu emerges SDP governorship candidate in Nasarawa
Mohammed Adamu won the SDP ticket after Musa Angbazo withdrew, with 28,637 delegates backing the former police chief in the replacement primary.
- On Saturday, the Social Democratic Party named Mohammed Abubakar Adamu as its 2027 Nasarawa State governorship candidate following a replacement primary held in Lafia after Musa Angbazo withdrew from the race.
- Conducted across the state's 13 local government areas, the primary saw Adamu run as the sole candidate while officials from the Independent National Electoral Commission monitored the affirmation vote led by electoral committee chairman Joseph Achille.
- Adamu promised to prioritize infrastructure, healthcare, and agriculture, specifically targeting neglected rural communities, while committing to present specific programs for each local government area rather than relying on broad political promises.
- The party must now complete the substitution process with INEC to formalize the new candidacy, a change that follows recent uncertainty after the commission previously listed Angbazo as the SDP's official standard-bearer.
- Adamu, who served as Inspector-General of Police from 2019 to 2021, hails from Lafia; his selection provides the SDP with a high-profile candidate as political parties accelerate preparations for the 2027 gubernatorial contest.
