Nasir Idris, the incumbent APC governor of Kebbi State, holds a dominant position in the 2027 gubernatorial race due to his party's unanimous endorsement as consensus candidate, recent launch of joint re-election campaigns with President Tinubu, and broad stakeholder affirmations citing governance achievements in education, infrastructure, and pensions. He recently replaced his deputy with Ibrahim Augie as running mate following legal advice on eligibility tied to prior tribunal matters, with no reported internal rift. Abubakar Malami, former Attorney General contesting on the ADC platform, has activated a large campaign council and reconciliation efforts but trails amid APC's organizational strength across the state's 21 local governments. Other aspirants remain marginal, reflecting limited viable alternatives at this stage ahead of the general election.
