2027: Jigawa governorship seat not vacant – Sen. Madori

Senator Abdulhamid Malam Madori (APC–Jigawa North East) has declared that the Jigawa State governorship seat will not be vacant in the 2027 general elections, urging political aspirants to shelve their ambitions in favour of Governor Umar Namadi.

Speaking during a Citizens and Government Engagement Programme held in Birniwa Local Government Area, Senator Madori emphasized that the outstanding performance of Governor Namadi in his first tenure has earned him the right to seek re-election.

“Let the governorship hopefuls in our great party, the APC, and other parties shelve their plans because Governor Namadi has done well and deserves a second term in 2027,” Madori said.

He further advised members of both the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and opposition parties to support the incumbent governor rather than prepare to challenge him in the upcoming polls.

“The present Governor, Umar Namadi, has done well in his first tenure. Therefore, there is no need for anybody to think of challenging him in the 2027 election,” he added.

Senator Madori maintained that Governor Namadi’s track record of development and good governance within a short time in office has won the confidence of the people, making him the best option for continuity.

“Governor Namadi deserves to serve his second term come 2027 because of his outstanding performance,” the senator emphasized

Malam Madori urged all politicians to put the interest of the state above personal ambition and rally behind a proven leader.
