Hamza Al-Mustapha Declares 2027 Presidential Ambition Under SDP

Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, former Chief Security Officer to the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha, has formally declared his intention to run for president in the 2027 general elections.
Al-Mustapha made the announcement on Tuesday during a meeting with state leaders of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and his supporters in Minna, the capital of Niger State.
Addressing the gathering, Al-Mustapha said he is deeply troubled by the current state of the country but remains hopeful that with focused leadership, Nigeria can be rebuilt.
“I am pained and deeply concerned about the current state of the nation. However, with the right direction and commitment, Nigeria can rise again,” he said.
“Though the road ahead may be rough, together we can rebuild the Nigeria we all deserve.”
He noted that his visit to Niger State is part of a broader national consultation with stakeholders as he prepares for the 2027 race.
Al-Mustapha’s campaign media director, Jubril Umar Sanda, reaffirmed his principal’s readiness, stating that Al-Mustapha is “fully prepared for the journey ahead, ready to serve with integrity, courage, and a clear plan for progress.”
Before the event, Al-Mustapha had stopped in Mokwa to sympathise with victims of a recent flood disaster that displaced over 200 people.
He also stressed the urgent need for unity and strong leadership to address the country’s challenges.
The SDP Chairman in Niger State, Buhari Yarima, welcomed the declaration and praised Al-Mustapha’s long-standing commitment to public service.
“We are confident that with credible candidates and a clear vision, the SDP will be a force to reckon with in 2027,” Yarima said.
