2027 Governorship Final Lists: Gombe, Niger, Nasarawa and Ogun

Who is on your state's governorship list? INEC's published final lists name both the governor candidate and the deputy on each party's ticket. We checked the official documents for Gombe, Niger, Nasarawa and Ogun: 57 tickets and 114 names in total.

This edition covers those four states. It is not a complete national list. Each table below reproduces the names and pairings in the linked INEC document, checked on 13 October 2026. For other states, start with the official INEC publications and the governorship state directory.

What changed from earlier reports?

Gombe's document lists 16 tickets and no PDP ticket. Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, whose PDP nomination we previously tracked, is not named. Ogun's 13-ticket list also has no PDP ticket: Oladipupo Adebutu does not appear. The lists establish those omissions; they do not explain the reasons, and an omission alone should not be described as a withdrawal or a court disqualification.

Ogun's ADC ticket names Lawal Jimi Adebisi and Olutayo Florence Funlola Folake. Both entries carry a "COURT ORDER" remark in the document. Earlier primary reporting had named Biodun Ogundipe. The final publication is the source for the table here. Ogun's document also contains no NDC ticket, which means the earlier Bolaji Odusina nomination report does not describe a ticket on this list.

Nasarawa's SDP entry names Mohammed Abubakar Adamu and Ada'a Lawrence Dari. Adamu had been removed from our tracked field after an earlier candidate-particulars publication named someone else. The final document now supplies fresh evidence for his entry. In Niger, the 15-ticket list includes the APC ticket of Mohammed Umaru Bago and Garba Yakubu, and the PDP ticket of Muhammad Mamman Nami and Dahir Dan'azumi Abdul.

Read the ticket, then inspect the record

A running mate is a member of the same ticket, not an additional governor candidate. Sixteen Gombe tickets therefore mean 16 governor candidates and 16 deputy candidates. The names in the deputy column should stay with the principal candidate beside them.

The official list answers who is named. It does not replace scrutiny of a candidate's record, policies and sources. Use the state race pages to open individual records and follow their citations. Where a record is brief, the linked INEC document remains available so you can inspect the underlying entry yourself.

Keep the dates in view. These tables describe the documents checked on 13 October. A later official update may change an entry. When a newer source changes the tracked field, we retain the correction and its evidence rather than treating every earlier primary report as current.
