Senator Sani Abubakar Danladi, a former governorship aspirant under the All Progressives Congress (APC), has announced his withdrawal from the 2027 senatorial contest for Taraba North. The decision was revealed in a statement released on Sunday, where he cited evolving political circumstances in the constituency and a desire to foster party cohesion as primary motivations.
In his statement, Danladi thanked APC members and supporters who had encouraged his candidacy, acknowledging their trust in his leadership. He emphasized that his choice to step aside was made after thorough deliberation and consultations, aiming to serve the party’s best interests.
Moving forward, Danladi intends to concentrate on his responsibilities as the coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors in Taraba State, a role through which he will continue advancing the APC’s agenda. He also voiced support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027, alongside endorsing Agbu Kefas for Taraba’s governorship and other APC candidates in upcoming elections.
The APC stalwart urged party loyalists to remain united and dedicated to the party’s principles, expressing confidence that their collective efforts will yield positive outcomes. He called for collaborative work toward the APC’s sustained success and Nigeria’s broader progress, highlighting his optimism about the party’s future.
