The Nigeria Democratic Congress has denied issuing a governorship ticket to Danjuma La’ah ahead of the 2027 Kaduna State governorship election.

The party’s Deputy National Chairman, North, Alhaji Sidi Abdul Bomi, stated this in a telephone interview with The PUNCH at the weekend, dismissing as false a purported governorship ticket bearing La’ah’s name and circulating on social media.

The development comes amid controversy over the party’s governorship ticket in Kaduna State, with Mohammed Abbas and La’ah linked to competing claims over the party’s nomination.

Bomi said the purported document circulating on social media did not emanate from the party and should not be relied upon as evidence of La’ah’s emergence as the NDC governorship candidate.
