The African Democratic Congress, ADC, in Niger State has vowed to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in the 2027 governorship election, urging residents to support its candidate, Dr Mohammed Kpautagi.

The party’s state chairman, El Amin El Waziri, made the declaration on Monday during Kpautagi’s visit to his community in Mokwa Local Government Area as part of a two-day tour of his constituency and parts of Zone A.

El Waziri said the party was seeking a change of government because of what he described as the hardship Nigerians were experiencing under the APC administration.

He urged Gwari, Hausa and Nupe residents of Kpautagi to remain united and support the ADC in the 2027 elections.
