The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Jigawa State has named former New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) governorship candidate Malam Aminu Ibrahim Ringim as its deputy governorship candidate for the 2027 general election.

Speaking after accepting the nomination, Ringim expressed appreciation to the party leadership and stakeholders for finding him worthy of the position.

He pledged to work tirelessly with the governorship candidate to ensure the party’s victory in the 2027 general election.

“I was part of the campaigns and administrations of Ibrahim Saminu Turaki and Sule Lamido. People know the role we played in ensuring their electoral victories and the successes recorded during their administrations,” he said.

Ringim described Senator Nakudu as the right candidate to lead Jigawa State, citing his extensive experience in governance, administration and economic management.

“Our governorship candidate is the right choice for Jigawa State. His wealth of experience will help bring the positive changes the people have been yearning for,” he said.

“We will do our best, and by the grace of Allah, we will succeed,” Ringim stated.

He also thanked Senator Nakudu for selecting him as his running mate and promised to justify the confidence reposed in him.

Ringim, a prominent politician, previously contested the governorship election under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP). He also served as Chief of Staff during the administrations of Governor Ibrahim Saminu Turaki and Sule Lamido.
