The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Nasarawa State selects Musa Shugaba-Abdullahi as its governorship candidate for the 2027 general elections. The decision is made during the party’s substitution primary election held on Tuesday night in Lafia, the state capital.
Both outlets report that the exercise is conducted through affirmation, following the party’s internal procedures for replacing or nominating candidates. They also note that the NDC Electoral Committee oversees the substitution primary, while relevant party or electoral officials supervise the process. The reports focus on the identification of the candidate and the setting and method of selection, with no additional details provided about the circumstances leading to the substitution or the candidate’s political background.
Overall, the two sources align on the party, location, timing, method of selection, and the named candidate, describing the event as the NDC’s move to finalize its governorship ticket in Nasarawa ahead of the 2027 election.
