The Nigeria Democratic Congress has said it has yet to produce a governorship candidate for the 2027 election in Kaduna State, despite competing claims from former Senator Danjuma La’ah and lawyer Mohammed Abbas.
The state chairman of the party, Evangelist Mordecai Ibrahim, disclosed this on Wednesday at a press conference in Kaduna, insisting that the controversy over the party’s governorship ticket remained unresolved.
Ibrahim said the party would have to conduct a substitution primary to produce a valid candidate, following his withdrawal from the race.
He said, “The bitter truth is that both at the state and national levels, the decision as to who is the governorship candidate of Kaduna State, whether Barrister Mohammed Sani Abbas or Senator Danjuma Tellah La’ah, has not been taken.”
The chairman explained that he was the party’s recognised governorship candidate until he voluntarily withdrew from the race.
