The Social Democratic Party has picked a former Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar Adamu, as its candidate for the 2027 Nasarawa State governorship election.
Adamu emerged during a substitution primary held on Saturday in Lafia, the state capital, following the withdrawal of the party’s previously listed candidate, Musa Adamu Angba.
The Independent National Electoral Commission had listed Angba as the SDP’s governorship candidate for the state before his withdrawal paved the way for the substitution.
Declaring the result, the Chairman of the SDP Electoral Committee for Nasarawa State, Joseph Achille, said the primary was conducted across the state’s 13 local government areas.
