The gubernatorial candidate of the Accord Party in the 2027 Taraba State election, Professor Jerome Nyameh, has unveiled Alhaji Tanimu Ali Ibrahim as the deputy governorship candidate, describing the partnership as a significant step towards the realization of a new and prosperous Taraba State.
The unveiling ceremony, held in Jalingo on Wednesday, attracted party officials, stakeholders, supporters, and well-wishers from across the state.
Addressing the gathering, Nyameh said the choice of Alhaji Ibrahim was based on his experience, competence, integrity, and commitment to the development of the state, adding that the ticket embodies unity and a shared vision for progress.
He expressed confidence that the Accord Party would emerge victorious in the 2027 governorship election, citing what he described as growing support from residents across the state.
According to the Accord candidate, his administration, if elected, would prioritize economic growth, job creation, youth and women empowerment, and policies aimed at improving the welfare of the people.
Nyameh also used the occasion to call on Tarabans, irrespective of political, ethnic, or religious backgrounds, to support the party’s vision for positive change and sustainable development.
He cautioned his supporters against engaging in insults, blackmail, or attacks on political opponents during the electioneering campaign, stressing the need for decency and issue-based politics.
“I do not tolerate blackmail of other candidates, and I do not want my media team or supporters to engage in it,” he said.
The governorship hopeful maintained that political campaigns should focus on ideas, leadership qualities, competence, integrity, and proven track records rather than personal attacks.

Nyameh also revealed that the party would unveil its development blueprint, tagged “Taraba Therapy,” at the commencement of the official gubernatorial campaign season.
Reaffirming his commitment to transforming the state, he said the future of Taraba remains bright and called for collective efforts to build what he described as a “New Taraba.”
“Regardless of our political, tribal, or religious affiliations, a better Taraba should be our common concern. Taraba is for all of us to build together,” he said.
