The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Jigawa State has reaffirmed Governor Umar Namadi as the party’s consensus governorship candidate for the 2027 general election, with the governor subsequently calling on party members across the state to begin full mobilisation toward securing victory for all APC candidates in the forthcoming polls.
The affirmation took place on Saturday at the Dutse Township Stadium during a large gathering attended by party leaders, elders, stakeholders, elected officials, and APC supporters drawn from the 27 local government areas of the state.
Among prominent personalities present at the event were former governors of Jigawa State, Ali Sa’ad Birnin Kudu and Ibrahim Saminu Turaki. Also, former deputy governor and deputy chief of staff to the president, Senator Ibrahim Hassan Hadejia; members of the National Assembly; members of the State House of Assembly; party executives; and other senior political figures across the state.
Officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and representatives of security agencies also witnessed the exercise.
Addressing party supporters shortly after his reaffirmation, Governor Umar Namadi thanked Almighty Allah and expressed deep appreciation to APC members and the people of Jigawa State for the confidence reposed in him.
