Share

The  governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023  general election in Niger state, Alh.

Isah Liman-Kantigi, has urged the people to support Gov. Umaru Bago beyond 2027.

Liman-Kantigi stated this during a press conference on Tuesday in Minna.

He noted that the governor had performed creditably and deserved the total support of the people in order to consolidate on his achievements so far in the state.

The former guber candidate  said that he had received numerous text messages urging him to contest the governorship position in 2027.

He, however, declined, saying that he would vigorously campaign against producing a gubernatorial candidate from Zone A.

“I want to tell the entire people of Niger state that I officially endorse Umaru Bago as our candidate for the 2027 gubernatorial election.

“Bago has started a lot of projects which have not been completed. It is my opinion that we should allow him to continue for a second term to complete what he has started,” he said.

Liman-Kantigi pointed out that his decision not to contest in 2027 was based a careful assessment of the situation on the ground, and urged others to join him in supporting the incumbent governor.

He said that his decision to concede defeat before the final result was announced during the last election was in the spirit of democracy as being practiced in America.

The former guber candidate also denied claims that his support for Bago could  have been influenced by contracts awarded to him by the state government.

Liman-Kantigi, however, explained that as a party man, he would work assiduously to ensure that the PDP wins other positions in 2027. (NAN)
