Jigawa PDP Swaps National Assembly Candidates for 2027
The Jigawa State chapter of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) has announced a strategic swap of National Assembly candidates as part of its preparations for the 2027 general elections. PDP Chairman, Hon. Babandi Ibrahim, confirmed this decision following a stakeholders’ meeting in Dutse.
He stated that the party has made two significant changes: former Inspector-General of Police, Suleiman Abba, will replace Aminu Wada Abubakar as the PDP candidate for the Jigawa Central Senatorial District, while Wada Abubakar will now contest the Dutse/Kiyawa Federal Constituency. Ibrahim emphasized that these changes were made after careful consideration of the party's electoral strength and the need for capable candidates.
PDP governorship candidate Mustapha Sule Lamido reiterated the party's commitment to winning the elections and mentioned ongoing discussions with prominent politicians to expand the party's membership. He clarified that replacing candidates does not diminish their relevance to the party, as there are various ways to contribute to its success.
