A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Katsina State on Wednesday endorsed three senatorial aspirants for the 2027 general elections, insisting the party remains strong enough to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) despite years of internal leadership tussles and defections.
State Chairman Nura Amadi-Kurfi announced the affirmation of Hamisu Gambo-Danlawan (popularly known as Danlawan) as the preferred candidate for Katsina Central District; Aliyu Abdulmumin-Abdullahi for the Daura zone and Nura Khalil for the Funtua zone.
Mr Amadi-Kurfi, who emerged from a 2024 congress backed by the faction led by former governorship candidate Senator Yakubu Lado-Danmarke, described the party as “fully united” across the 34 local government areas.
He expressed confidence that the PDP would reclaim power in 2027 by addressing insecurity, poverty, unemployment, and poor access to social services.
“The PDP is prepared to provide purposeful leadership that will tackle the numerous challenges facing the people of Katsina State,” he said.
