2027: Zamfara ADC governorship candidate denies withdrawing from race
The camp of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, governorship candidate in Zamfara State, Mahdi Aliyu Muhammad, has denied reports circulating on social media claiming that he has withdrawn from the 2027 governorship election.
In a statement issued by his press secretary, Salisu Mohammed Mada, the campaign group described the report as false and misleading, alleging that it was aimed at creating confusion among party members and the public.
The statement maintained that Muhammad remains the duly elected governorship candidate of the ADC in Zamfara State, having emerged victorious in the party’s primary election.
According to the campaign, the candidate has neither withdrawn from the race nor authorised any individual or group to announce such a decision on his behalf.
It urged party supporters, stakeholders, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, security agencies and the general public to disregard the report.
The campaign also condemned the spread of what it described as misinformation, warning against actions capable of causing unnecessary political tension and undermining democratic processes.
It reaffirmed Muhammad’s commitment to contesting the 2027 governorship election and pursuing his agenda for the development of Zamfara State.
