Popular Abuja-based businessman and car dealer, Aliyu Muhammad, has secured the New Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) nomination for the House of Representatives seat representing Yola North, Yola South, and Girei Federal Constituency in Adamawa State.
Muhammad, widely known for his luxury car sales content and strong social media presence, announced his victory following the party's primary election. He pledged to provide effective representation and work towards addressing the needs of his constituents ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Supporters have welcomed his emergence as a fresh political figure capable of bringing new ideas and energy to the constituency. However, some observers remain cautious, questioning his political experience and long-term influence, especially considering his previous denials of political ambitions.
Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has already selected Engineer Ahmad Salihu Ahmad, popularly known as Y2G, as its candidate, setting the stage for what is expected to be a highly competitive race in one of Adamawa State's most important federal constituencies.
Political analysts believe the contest could become one of the most closely watched elections in the state as preparations for the 2027 general elections gather momentum.
