The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Jigawa State has announced a 45-member campaign council for the 2027 governorship election. The party’s governorship candidate, Mustapha Lamido, is appointed as chairman, with the council tasked with mobilising supporters across the state ahead of the vote.
In a statement issued in Dutse, Lamido says the council will coordinate activities in Jigawa’s 27 local government areas to ensure broad grassroots engagement. The appointment includes an expanded leadership structure and a directorate to manage day-to-day operations, covering areas such as strategy, security, finance, media, planning, youth, and women’s mobilisation.
Both outlets describe the same core development—PDP naming a 45-member council led by Lamido. The Nigerian Eye also provides a more detailed breakdown of specific appointees and roles, while The Punch focuses on the announcement itself without listing as extensively. The Nigerian Eye additionally notes that Lamido was affirmed as the PDP flagbearer in May after running as the sole aspirant for the governorship ticket.
