Ex-IGP Adamu Secures SDP Governorship Ticket for 2027
Mohammed Abubakar Adamu, the former Inspector-General of Police, has been named the governorship candidate for the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Nasarawa State for the 2027 general elections. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) confirmed this on Saturday with the release of its final list of candidates.
Adamu's candidacy was also validated by the Mohammed Abubakar Adamu Campaign Organisation, represented by High Chief Otaru Douglas, who expressed confidence in their chances for victory. Adamu previously contested the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary but lost to Senator Aliyu Wadada.
Following this, he defected to the SDP and secured the party's ticket through a substitution primary, replacing Musa Adamu Angba, who withdrew from the race. This primary was conducted under INEC's supervision.
Adamu's candidacy faced scrutiny due to a Supreme Court judgment regarding the Electoral Act 2026, but his camp asserts that the judgment does not affect his candidacy. With INEC's final list published, Adamu is set to represent the SDP in the upcoming elections.
