Former Inspector General of Police (IGP), Muhammed Abubakar Adamu, has emerged as the gubernatorial candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) for the 2027 general election, replacing Musa Adamu Angba, who had withdrawn from the race.
Adamu emerged following a direct primary through an affirmation voice vote on Saturday, as monitored by the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) in accordance with the Electoral Act and the commission’s guidelines.
Speaking shortly after his emergence, the former IGP said that having gone around the state, he has taken notes of the lack of basic social amenities and the lack of roads and health care facilities in the local communities.
He said, “We will not neglect social amenities that are required. We’ve gone round the state; we have seen all the roads that are in the hinterlands are neglected. We’ll make sure that we take care of that. We’ll provide healthcare that is needed not only in the urban cities but also in the rural areas.”
