Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has announced Jerry Adams as his running mate for the 2027 governorship election, in a move expected to shape the political landscape ahead of the polls.
Mr Adams, a Christian from Kaura Local Government Area in Southern Kaduna, currently serves as the Executive Director of the Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service (KADIRS).
The announcement is being viewed as a significant political decision, with observers noting that the choice reflects efforts to strengthen regional and religious inclusivity within the governing ticket.
Governor Sani, who is expected to seek a second term in office, has yet to publicly outline the factors that informed the selection. However, Adams’ experience in public administration and revenue management is likely to feature prominently as the campaign gathers momentum.
Political analysts say the development marks one of the earliest major signals ahead of the 2027 governorship election in Kaduna State, where political parties are expected to intensify preparations in the coming months.
