Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, the former Chief Security Officer to the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha, has officially announced his ambition to run for president in 2027 as the political clouds start to gather.

Al-Mustapha declared that he would run for president on behalf of the Social Democratic Party, SDP.

At a meeting with the SDP state executive committee in Minna, Niger State, he revealed this.

“I am pained and deeply concerned about the current state of the nation. However, with the right direction and commitment, Nigeria can rise again.

“Though the road ahead may be rough, together we can rebuild the Nigeria we all deserve,” he said.

He explained that the gathering was a component of a larger plan to interact with national stakeholders in advance of the 2027 elections.

Alhaji Buhari Yakubu Yarima, the State Chairman of the SDP, praised him for the announcement.

The former CSO’s dedication to national service was praised by him.

“We are confident that with credible candidates and a clear vision, the SDP will be a force to reckon with in 2027,” he said.

At first, there were rumors that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar was using the SDP as a vehicle for the opposition coalition.

Adewale Adebayo, the party’s previous presidential candidate, asserted that SDP is not a member of the alliance.
