ADC Targets APC in 2027 Niger Governorship Election

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has announced its intention to contest the 2027 Niger State governorship election against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). During a two-day tour of Zone A and Kpautagi’s constituency, ADC state chairman El Amin El Waziri urged residents to support their governorship candidate, Dr Mohammed Kpautagi.

El Waziri expressed concerns about the hardships faced by Nigerians under the APC administration and called for unity among Gwari, Hausa, and Nupe residents. He clarified that the visit was not solely a campaign but also a gesture of appreciation to community elders.

Additionally, ADC Zonal Chairman Gimba Tswatagi praised Kpautagi as a disciplined grassroots politician. Kpautagi’s running mate, Mamman Musa, acknowledged the role of traditional and religious leaders in fostering community peace and urged support for Kpautagi’s ambitions.

The ADC campaign director, Prof. Rabiu Bello Nasko, presented a request from the Kpautagi New Market Association for improvements to local market facilities. The ADC delegation also visited Edati and Lavun Local Government Areas.
