Thousands of PDP members in Jigawa State on Sunday endorsed Mustapha Sule Lamido as the party’s governorship candidate for the 2027 election, as he pledged to “rebuild Jigawa into a state that works for all.”
The opposition Peoples Democratic Party conducted its governorship primary election in the state, attracting members and supporters from the 287 wards across Jigawa to Dutse, the state capital.
Delegates and party faithful reportedly trooped to the venue of the exercise, held at the M-Town Centre in Dutse, for the affirmation of Lamido as the sole governorship aspirant ahead of the 2027 general election.
The exercise was monitored by representatives of the PDP national headquarters, officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, security agencies, and other stakeholders.
