Mohammed Adamu, Nigeria's former Inspector-General of Police (the country's top police officer) from 2019 to 2021, says he remains the Social Democratic Party's candidate for governor of Nasarawa State, despite questions raised by a 24 September Supreme Court ruling that restored Electoral Act 2026 provisions on party membership registers and candidate nominations. His campaign argues the judgement neither names him nor invalidates the party's register or the direct primary that produced him, while the electoral commission (INEC) says it will study the certified judgement before deciding its next steps. The dispute matters because it could shape how the restored rules are applied to candidates ahead of Nigeria's 2027 elections.
