Governorship candidates of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Nigeria's seven North West states have signed a development covenant ahead of the 2027 general elections, pledging a minimum wage of 110,000 naira. The declaration, titled 'Northwest ADC Governorship Candidates' Compact 2027–2031,' outlines plans for the socio-economic emancipation of the region and reforms aimed at protecting citizens, according to Daily Trust.

Seven ADC governorship candidates in Nigeria’s Northwest signed a regional compact and unveiled a four-year plan focused on insecurity, food crisis, education, healthcare, jobs and economic integration. According to ThisDay Live, the candidates also backed Atiku Abubakar’s promise to reverse the removal of fuel subsidy and pledged a N110,000 minimum wage, framing the pact as joint regional action on security and development.

The PDP governorship candidate in Abia State has pledged to raise the minimum wage to N90,000 if elected, according to Tori.ng. The candidate unveiled the plan as part of a broader agenda he says will improve the lives of workers, students and small business owners in the state. The promise comes ahead of the governorship election, with the candidate positioning the wage increase as a key campaign commitment.

Governorship candidates of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and their running mates from Nigeria's seven northwestern states held a meeting to discuss ways of tackling worsening insecurity in the region, according to Channels Television. The candidates in attendance were drawn from Kaduna, Kano, Jigawa, Katsina, Zamfara, Sokoto, and Kebbi states. The gathering focused on the security challenges affecting the North West, where banditry and related violence have persisted.

Governorship candidates of the African Democratic Congress in Nigeria’s seven Northwest states—Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara and Jigawa—have urged President Bola Tinubu to restore the fuel subsidy, according to Vanguard. They argue that its removal has deepened the cost of living crisis across the region, making subsidy reversal a central regional demand. The report frames the appeal as political pressure on Tinubu’s economic policy from opposition candidates.
