Ex-FIRS chairman Nami emerges Niger PDP governorship candidate

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has named Muhammad Nami, former Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, as its candidate for the 2027 Niger State governorship election. Nami, who previously contested for a senatorial seat under the APC platform, has defected to the PDP, signaling a major political realignment. His experience as a tax administrator and reputation without scandal could appeal to voters seeking accountable leadership.
