The Niger State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has unveiled a Christian, Samuel Gomna, as running mate for the 2023 governorship candidate after 16 years of fielding muslim-muslim ticket.

The party, through its governorship candidate, Isah Kantigi, did the unveiling at the party secretariat in Minna on Sunday.

The selection of a Christian as the party running mate is coming 16 years after both the PDP and the All progressive Congress have been fielding muslim-muslim tickets during elections.

Kantigi, during his remarks, said the nominee was successful after due consultations and guidance devoid of sentiment or discrimination for the progress of a common man in the state.

He assured that if elected, his administration will give priority to rural development to reduce rural urban migration and he will be there for the people of the state.

The candidate said, “I am ready to die for you all, I am ready to die for the common man to make sure they are protected.”

Responding, Samuel Gomna accused the ruling APC in the country for playing lip service to end insurgency and assured to bring to an end the current insecurity challenges confronting the state and Nigeria.

IBB and Abdulsalam are cousins. They are both from Niger's state. The current governor is married to one of Abdulsalami's daughter. Stop deceiving yourself. Obi will not get a single vote from non-Igbos.

They will still lose to far distant third since their chairman is Thirdus

I swear PDP is not interested in regaining power in Niger state. The stupid governorship candidate is trying to drag Nigerlites back to the dark era of Muslim-Christian ticket which is not going to fly at all
