Governorship candidates and political parties across the country have begun intensifying campaigns for the 2027 elections, unveiling policy agendas centred on security, agriculture, education, healthcare, workers’ welfare and economic development.
From the North-West to the South-East and South-West, the candidates are seeking to frame the contests around competing programmes, while parties and political actors are also making early appeals for peaceful, issue-based campaigns.
The development follows the formal commencement of the governorship campaign period on Wednesday, September 9, setting the stage for a contest in which security, the economy, social services and the welfare of citizens are expected to feature prominently.
