Former Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar Adamu, has emerged as the governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Nasarawa State for the 2027 general election.
Adamu replaces Musa Adamu Angba, who withdrew from the governorship race.
He emerged through a direct primary conducted by the party on Saturday and affirmed by voice vote, with the exercise monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in line with the Electoral Act and the commission’s guidelines.
Speaking shortly after his emergence, Adamu said his decision to contest was informed by his assessment of the challenges facing communities across the state, including inadequate social amenities, poor roads and limited access to healthcare.
