The Kebbi State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has disowned reports that it endorsed Governor Nasir Idris of the All Progressives Congress for the 2027 governorship election, insisting that the party remains united and committed to its candidates.
The party’s position followed a declaration by a group of PDP stakeholders and supporters in Birnin Kebbi in support of Idris’ re-election bid.
The group, led by former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Ishaya Bamaiyi (retd.), and other prominent political figures, said it resolved to back the governor based on his performance and commitment to the development of the state.
However, in a statement made available to newsmen on Sunday, the PDP State Chairman, Alhaji Usman Suru, said the declaration did not represent the position of the party.
“The Kebbi State PDP denies and rejects the rumour that it is supporting the APC and the APC governorship candidate in Kebbi State in the upcoming 2027 election,” Suru said.
