Nami Vows to Challenge Bago in Niger State 2027 Elections
Mohammad Mamman Nami has been affirmed as the 2027 gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Niger State, taking over from Arch. Abubakar Suleiman, who voluntarily withdrew from the race.
Nami, a former Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), expressed his commitment to contest against the current administration led by Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago of the All Progressives Congress (APC). He stated that his decision to run stems from dissatisfaction with the APC's handling of senatorial primaries in Niger South, particularly regarding the grievances of the people in zone A. Nami indicated that the PDP will convene a meeting in Minna to address the public and initiate campaign activities.
He emphasized his determination to unseat Bago, whom he described as underperforming, and expressed hope for his long life to witness the electoral contest in 2027.
