Danlami Musa Claims Authentic SDP Candidacy for 2027
Hon. Danlami Musa, the chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Nasarawa state, declared himself the authentic governorship candidate for the 2027 general elections during a press briefing in Lafia. This statement follows a political gathering on September 5, 2026, where former Inspector General of Police Mohammed Abubakar Adamu was presented as the SDP governorship candidate.
Musa emphasized that he had substantial documentary evidence confirming his candidacy, stemming from a primary election conducted on May 23, 2026, at the SDP state secretariat, which was monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). He expressed concern over INEC's contradictory actions regarding the party's governorship candidature and questioned the legitimacy of replacing Musa Adamu Angba's name with that of Adamu, asserting that Angba did not participate in the primary election.
Musa urged SDP members and supporters to remain calm and assured them that legal measures would be pursued to address the situation.
