NDC Selects Musa Shugaba-Abdullahi for Nasarawa Governorship

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has chosen Musa Shugaba-Abdullahi as its candidate for the upcoming 2027 Nasarawa State governorship election. This decision was made during the party's substitution primary held on Tuesday in Lafia, the state capital.

The primary was overseen by Dr Peter Onigah, the NDC National Treasurer and Chairman of the Electoral Committee, and was conducted in accordance with the Electoral Act, with supervision from officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). In addition to Shugaba-Abdullahi, the primary also produced five candidates for the Nasarawa State House of Assembly.

Shugaba-Abdullahi presented a five-point agenda that includes commitments to free and compulsory education for children aged three to 19, improvements in healthcare, infrastructure development, empowerment initiatives, and collaboration with the Federal Government to address security challenges.
