The former vice-presidential nominee thanked the leadership and members of the APM for the opportunity to serve on the party’s presidential ticket and wished the party success in the 2027 elections.
His withdrawal comes shortly after Makinde selected former Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Lawal Daura, as his new running mate.
Daura, who served as DSS director-general from 2015 to 2018, was presented at the APM national convention held on Thursday at the Rilwan Adamu Square in Bauchi.
The convention also formally confirmed Makinde as the APM’s presidential candidate for the 2027 election.
With Ibrahim’s withdrawal, Daura is now set to contest alongside Makinde on the APM presidential ticket, subject to the completion of the required electoral processes.
