No other political advantage than money.
None at all!

Nwaikpe:
Now, in 2027, Obi will win 90%.

A two-time former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaduna State, Isa Ashiru, has emerged as the governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the state ahead of the 2027 general election.

The former lawmaker, who represented Makarfi/Kudan Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, scored 86,113 votes to clinch the party’s ticket.

A former Commissioner of Education under the administration of former Governor Nasir El-Rufai, Jafaru Sani, came second with 29,580 votes.

Other aspirants included the immediate past Commissioner for Education under the administration of Governor Uba Sani, Professor Muhammad San-Bello, who polled 13,559 votes; Ahmed Tijjani, who secured 13,550 votes; and Shuaibu Mikati, who got 10,819 votes.

Ashiru was the PDP governorship candidate in both the 2019 and 2023 governorship elections in Kaduna State.

He lost to former Governor Nasir El-Rufai in 2019 and also finished second behind incumbent Governor Uba Sani in 2023 after polling 719,000 votes.

Meanwhile, some House of Representatives aspirants in Kaduna State under the platform of the African Democratic Congress have rejected the outcome of the party’s primaries, alleging irregularities in the process.

Addressing a news conference, the leader of the aggrieved aspirants, Samaila Makarfi, described the exercise as a sham and “totally unacceptable,” calling for a review of the entire process.

seunmsg:
He is the proverbial cat with 9 lives. He gets the ticket, win the election and start fighting the party. Once it is time for election again, he goes back to supporting the party and repeat the same thing after the election. He is one heck of a guy.

spencekat:
Going to the Senate is okay, but he may miss the chance to be a governor again. Then, zoning can play a role in denying him again the governorship ticket.

fergie001:
Felix Tangwami was Fintiri's chosen to succeed him before Ribadu shenk am.

Well, he is going for Senate, that's a good one.

Nwaikpe:
Same with Buhari.

I would have said so about Tinubu, but he has no natural political clout.

But yes, on the wings of Buhari and Obi, even a cat will win in some areas.

Nwaikpe:
I heard that in 2023.
And then he won Lagos.

Nwaikpe:
Well, for Adamawa, he has a good chance.
Not the best chance, but a good one.

Better than NDC I will say.

But if you are in Abuja, or anywhere in the South, don't waste your money on this party.
Go for NDC.
Even if you don't know how to spell Nigeria, on the wings of Peter Obi, you will win.
The same way it happened in the North with Buhari.

HacheNoire:
He definitely knows he has no chance of winning and just setting up a political platform and structure towards 2031 when he will decamp to APC.

suleimanshehu:
They are inclined more as Fulani, both the current and formers governors are all from Ilorin Emirate.

EmekaA125:
Lol
Check Obi's combined votes in NE/NW in 2023. Let's not talk too much. 2027 is already close.

Eriokanmi:
You may be a Kano boy but apc supporter. That doesn't make your opinion count. Everyone can never be a lover of Kwakwanso or the NDC. There are also apc supporters in Kano. The news is fake from the apc camp. If you like, you can pin my comment ok? Kwakwanso will win Kano, even if he defects to a party registered today. His candidate had already defeated ganduje in the latter's 2nd term, before they dubiously declared the remaining marginal areas inconclusive. You and I saw what happened next to voters and tge 1qth hour projectscarriedout there by the apc. Peopleare wiser now.

His candidate had easy win in 2023, despite contesting with a ruling party both at state and federal. That's a clear message to all of you

EmekaA125:
There's no law that says a Presidential Candidate will win all the States before being declared winner. What the law says is securing 25% in 24 States and FCT. Peter Obi secured 25% in 18 States in 2023, he will secure more in 2027.

EmekaA125:
Except rigging, Tinubu will struggle to get 2 million votes in 2027. The Octogenerian man who doesn't want to retire from Politics will be disgraced by Nigerians.

EmekaA125:
Kwankwaso influence in Kano can't be underestimated. He will always control the political atmosphere there. He will take over the affairs of our nation in 2031 if him and Peter Obi succeeds in 2027. Tinubu is a goner.

Former Deputy Governor of Sokoto State, Mannir Dan Iya, has emerged as the governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the 2027 general elections in Sokoto State.

Dan-Iya emerged after the party conducted its governorship primary election involving delegates from the 244 wards across the 23 local government areas of the state.

The Chief Returning Officer of the exercise, Prof. Aminu Abubakar Illela, said Dan-Iya polled 52,831 votes across the state.

“Consequently, I hereby declare you as the ADC candidate for the 2027 general elections,” he said.



In his acceptance speech, Dan-Iya thanked party members for the confidence reposed in him and accepted the mandate given to him.

He pledged to work hard and expressed optimism that the ADC would defeat the ruling party in the forthcoming elections.

Dan-Iya also appreciated the support of party leaders in the state, especially former governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, and called for unity among party members.

Speaking at the event, the party leader in the state, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal said the ADC was optimistic of victory, noting that ADC had given many youths opportunities to contest in the coming elections.

He urged members to remain patient and resilient, while stressing the need for free and fair elections across the country.

Dan-Iya served as deputy governor under Tambuwal’s administration between 2018 and 2023 and was recently chosen as the party’s consensus candidate among 10 aspirants who had earlier shown interest in the governorship race, including Senator representing Sokoto East, Ibrahim Lamido; former ambassador to Jordan, Faruk Malami Yabo; former Minister of Transportation, Yusuf Suleiman; and former PDP governorship candidate in the 2023 general election, Saidu Umar.

suleimanshehu:
Ok! Out of the 16 LGAs in Kwara State, it is only in Offa, Oyun, Oke-ro, Isin, Irepodun (Omu-Aran) and some part of Ifelodun & Asa LGAs that you can find pure Yorubas in Kwara State

suleimanshehu:
Ok! Tell us a Civilian Governor that is a pure Yoruba that ruled Kwara State since it's separation from some part of Kogi state in 1991?

Is it Shaba Lafiagi; Abubakar Bukola Saraki; Ahmed Abdulfatai? Or the incumbent AbdurRahman AbdurRazak?

Ofunaofu:
Good. You too, you agree he'll secure even more votes in the NE and NW than he did in 2023. That's all that matters here.

sulaak:
Where are the indigenous people? Nearly all the governors are Fulani .

LagosOrigin:
Fake news ..

He can't move to another party again because of INEC deadline so he remain in NDC

Ofunaofu:
Prepare to bend, because he'll secure even more votes in the NE and NW than he did in 2023.

tishbite41:
No wonder Kwankwaso no trust am with the gubernatorial ticket
Gawuna entering the race on the ADC platform will make things easier for Kwankwaso
Gawuna is an APC man

suleimanshehu:
Pure Yorubas are less than 40% of the population of Kwara State. Nupe, Fulani/Yoruba (Gambari), Wawa i.e. Tribes from from Baruten and Kaima LGA formed more than 60% of the population of Kwara State.

Gotocourt:
IGP Adamu lost APC primaries 🤷🏿

dalongjnr:
ADC has a better footing for now.
NDC can only fly because of the religious card.

runningriot:
Yes Senate for 2026 bye elections over the death of Godiya Akwashiki so the person is correct!

runningriot:
Brother Gaza is from the Western zone not in the Northern district. And mind you Umbuguadu and Wada one on one will be walk over. If the sitting governor can't beat him his sorrugate can't!

Parachoko:
I doubt the Presidency really wanted BOB

dalongjnr:
Choices.
Nobody joined that coven and remains the same.
Some of us are still licking our wounds.
APC has completely destroy the country and the humanity left in it.
People are being traded like cows,life is just ordinary in the hands of the marauders, terrorist, bandits and only God knows what.

dalongjnr:
I know what happened that time and the type of politics that was played during the appointment.
Al makura,sultan of Sokoto,the former Senate president etc lobbies for his appointment.
Josiah josiak was the most experienced, the most competent and has the best record of service and also the DIG force operations.
He had experience in counter terrorism and once head the mopol unit. He was an excellent offcer who could have help curtail the challenges we are facing today.
It was a missed opportunity for Nigeria and we are paying the price today.
