Mohammed Umaru Bago has emerged as the unopposed
governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2027
election in Niger State.
The declaration was made on Thursday at the APC state
secretariat in Minna during the party’s governorship primary election.
The Chairman of the APC Electoral Committee and Returning
Officer, Danlami Abubakar, announced Bago as the party’s sole candidate after
the adoption process.
According to Abubakar, the governor satisfied all
requirements for the nomination and enjoyed overwhelming support from party
members across the state.
The motion adopting Bago as the unopposed candidate was
moved by Mohammed Sani Musa of the Niger East Senatorial District.
Musa said the governor had demonstrated commitment to
development, party unity and inclusive governance since assuming office.
“We have confidence in his leadership and achievements. That
is why stakeholders unanimously agreed to return him as our candidate,” he
said.
The motion was seconded by the Deputy Speaker of the Niger
State House of Assembly, Afiniki Dauda.
Dauda described Bago as a leader committed to infrastructure
renewal, agricultural development and youth empowerment across the state.
She urged party members to remain united ahead of the 2027
governorship election and support the governor’s re-election bid.
In his remarks, Bago appreciated APC members for the
confidence reposed in him through the consensus arrangement.
The governor said the development reflected the strong
relationship between his administration and the people of Niger State.
“I will never take this support for granted. It is a
responsibility that demands greater commitment and service to our people,” he
said.
