Crisis appears to be brewing within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Jigawa State ahead of the 2027 general elections, as the party’s governorship candidate, Senator Sabo Mohammed Nakudu, has disowned an alleged power-sharing agreement said to have been reached between him and another political figure, Hon. Bashir Adamu Jumbo.
Nakudu, in a statement posted on his Facebook page, described the purported “Strategic Alliance and Power-Sharing Agreement” dated July 3, 2026, as unauthorised, saying he neither negotiated, signed, approved nor consented to the document.
He specifically rejected the alleged 60:40 power-sharing arrangement, including claims concerning the deputy governorship slot, allocation of elective positions and future federal or state appointments.
“No person or group was authorised by me to make such commitments on my behalf,” Nakudu said.
The governorship candidate also denied signing the document, saying the signature attributed to him was not his and should be subjected to forensic examination.
He further said he was unaware of, and did not authorise, the claim that the agreement was witnessed by former Sokoto State governor, Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal; Kashim Ibrahim-Imam; and former Senate President, Senator David Mark.
Nakudu urged political actors, institutions and media organisations to refrain from treating or circulating the document as an agreement duly executed or authorised by him.
He warned that he would pursue legal action against anyone found responsible for allegedly fabricating, altering, falsely attributing or circulating the document or his purported signature.
The development comes as political parties and aspirants begin realigning ahead of the 2027 elections, with questions over possible alliances and power-sharing arrangements expected to shape the political landscape in Jigawa State.
Nakudu, however, maintained that he is not a party to the purported agreement and would not be bound by any of its provisions.
