2027: Sokoto Rep To Step Down For Youth
A member of the House of Representatives representing Kebbe/Tambuwal Federal Constituency in Sokoto, Abdussamad Dasuki, has announced that he will not be re-contesting the position come 2027.
Dasuki, in a statement, said the decision was a personal sacrifice to give younger Nigerians a chance to serve.
He emphasized the need for sacrifice to make the country achieve the height it yearned for, adding that his decision to step down followed due consultation with his team, leader, family, and conscience.
“I have decided not to seek re-election to the House of Representatives in 2027. This is not born out of fatigue or disillusionment, but a higher calling — a decision rooted in belief, in hope, and in a future we all desire to see,” he said.
Dasuki, who first held elective office in 2011, has served in the Sokoto State House of Assembly, the State Executive Council, and currently in the National Assembly.
