Niger 2027: Nami unveils 10-point agenda

Alhaji Mohammed Mamman Nami, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governorship Candidate in Niger, has unveiled a 10-point development agenda for the state, if elected in 2027.

Nami listed his development agenda to include improved security, human capital development, employment, healthcare and better welfare for residents.

He disclosed this on Thursday in Minna during an expanded PDP stakeholders meeting, where he solicited their continued support and assured them that he would justify the confidence reposed in him and the party.

The candidate, who was accompanied by his running mate, Alhaji Dahiru Dan’azumi Abdul, also pledged to strengthen agriculture, education, water supply and pensioners’ welfare, while pursuing measures to address other challenges confronting the state.

Nami expressed concern over the activities of bandits and the persistent incidents of kidnapping across the state, saying his administration will take decisive measures to improve security and protect the lives and property of residents, if given the mandate.

He called on residents to remain calm and peaceful, urging them to exercise their democratic rights by using their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) during the 2027 general elections.

Nami pledged not to betray the state, just as he did not betray the country while serving as Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), following his appointment by late President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to him, his administration will prioritise the 10-point agenda for the rapid growth of the state and improved welfare of its citizens.

The PDP governorship candidate decried the recent deaths of about 37 miners in the state, and called for stronger security measures and greater protection of the lives and property of residents.

He urged party members and stakeholders to remain united and committed to the PDP, assuring them that the confidence reposed in the PDP leadership will be justified through purposeful and people-oriented governance.
