The Niger State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has charged its candidates for the 2027 general elections to focus on issue-based campaigns and embrace inclusive leadership as it presented them with certificates of return.
The State Chairman of the party, Hon. Aliyu Halidu Mohammed, gave the charge while presenting the certificates to candidates who emerged victorious in the party’s primary elections.
He urged the candidates to uphold the ideals of the PDP by carrying along party executives, stakeholders, supporters, and loyalists across the state as campaigns gather momentum.
Mohammed also stressed the need for the candidates to maintain close working relationships with the party structure, particularly the 25 local government chairmen and ward chairmen, describing grassroots mobilisation as critical to the PDP’s success in the 2027 elections.
According to him, collaboration with the party structure would strengthen unity, enhance mobilisation, and improve the party’s chances at the polls.
The state chairman further appealed to party members, supporters, and stakeholders to remain united and committed to the collective goal of reclaiming power in the state.
“The enduring strength of the PDP lies in its unity, discipline, and unwavering dedication to providing purposeful leadership for the people of Niger State,” he said.
Also speaking, a PDP stakeholder and former First Lady of Niger State, Senator Zainab Kure, commended the party’s flag bearers for their loyalty and commitment.
She noted that contesting against the ruling party from the opposition is never easy, but urged the candidates to remain steadfast, determined, and prayerful as they prepare for the 2027 general elections.
Certificates of return were presented to the party’s three senatorial candidates, six House of Representatives candidates, and 24 State House of Assembly candidates who emerged victorious in the PDP primary elections across Niger State.
