Jigawa PDP Vows to Unseat Governor Namadi in 2027 Election
The Jigawa State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has vowed to unseat Governor Umar Namadi in the 2027 election.
The PDP’s Deputy Chairman, Umar Danjani, expressed confidence in the party’s ability to win the election, citing examples of past electoral victories where governors from opposing parties were defeated despite the incumbent president belonging to a different party.
Examples of Past Victories
Danjani mentioned several examples, including:
- Governor Fintiri’s victory in Adamawa State in 2019
- Governor Abdulaziz Yari’s victory in Zamfara State in 2015
- Governor Bala Kaura’s victory in Kaduna State in 2019
- Governor Seyi Makinde’s win in Oyo State in 2019
- Governor Ademola Adeleke’s victory in Osun State in 2022
APC’s Response
The APC Chairman in Jigawa State, Aminu Gumel, dismissed the PDP’s challenge, saying that the party’s claims are based on wishful thinking rather than reality.
Gumel expressed confidence in Governor Namadi’s ability to deliver another winning performance in 2027, citing the governor’s popularity and the party’s strong grassroots support.
As the election draws near, both parties are expected to intensify their campaigns, adding a new dimension to the political landscape in the state and across the country.
The PDP’s vow to unseat Governor Namadi has set the stage for a highly contested election.
