Kebbi: Commissioners pick APC nomination form for Gov Idris

Commissioners in Kebbi State have obtained the All Progressives Congress, APC, expression of interest and nomination forms for Governor Nasir Idris ahead of the 2027 governorship election.

The forms were procured in Abuja by the Chairman of the Commissioners’ Forum and Commissioner for Finance, Abubakar Chika, alongside the Commissioner for Special Duties, Zayyanu Aleiro, on behalf of members of the forum.

The development follows a resolution reached by the forum during a political meeting in Birnin Kebbi last year, where members passed a vote of confidence in the governor and pledged to purchase his nomination form in support of his administration.

The APC had on Tuesday declared the sale of forms open, signalling the commencement of its nomination process for aspirants.

The expression of interest and nomination forms, priced at N50 million, were released at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja.

The move comes amid increasing political activities within the party, as aspirants for various elective positions begin consultations and formal notifications to party leaders in line with APC guidelines.

Governor Idris had earlier reaffirmed unity within the party and support for President Bola Tinubu during a recent APC rally in the state.
