Former senator representing Adamawa North Senatorial District, Elisha Abbo, has emerged as the Labour Party’s governorship candidate for Adamawa State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Abbo’s emergence as the party’s consensus flag bearer followed his official clearance by the national leadership of the Labour Party on Saturday.
The development comes barely one week after he was screened at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja.
With the ticket secured, Abbo is expected to face the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Ahmed Galadima, as well as Aishatu Binani of the Nigeria Democratic Congress in what is shaping up to be a keenly contested governorship race.
