The governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Zamfara State, Mahdi Aliyu Muhammad, has dismissed rumors that he has stepped down from the 2027 election race.
According to a statement released by his press secretary, Salisu Mohammed Mada, the campaign team labelled the viral story as baseless and deceptive, accusing its proponents of trying to sow discord among party members and the general public.
The statement reaffirmed that Muhammad remains the legitimate candidate of the ADC in Zamfara, having won the party’s primary election fair and square.
Mahdi Aliyu Muhammad has not quit the contest, nor has he authorized anyone to make such an announcement on his behalf, the campaign insisted.
The team called on party loyalists, stakeholders, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), security agencies, and the public to ignore the false reports.
Furthermore, the campaign condemned the spread of what it termed misinformation, warning that such actions could trigger avoidable political unrest and undermine democratic processes.
It reiterated Muhammad’s unwavering determination to participate in the 2027 governorship election and to advance his developmental vision for Zamfara State.
