The Secretary to the Government of Niger State, Abubakar Usman, issued the instruction in line with the revised 2027 electoral timetable released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Usman stated, “All political appointees and other government officials who desire to contest for elective positions are advised to resign their appointments by March 23, 2026, to meet the one-month requirement before party primaries commence from April 23, 2026.”
