Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has officially revealed plans to contest for the Nasarawa North Senatorial seat in the 2027 general election.
The disclosure was made by the Director-General of the State’s Bureau for Pension Administration, Suleiman Musa Nagogo, during a meeting with All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders in Wamba Local Government Area on Tuesday.
Nagogo said he had been personally informed by the governor of his senatorial ambition and was delegated to deliver the message to his home constituency.
“I have been in Wamba with a crystal clear message from His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Nasarawa State, Engineer Abdullahi Sule, to simply introduce a very important subject matter to the people of my own home, Wamba Local Government Area. That important message is to inform them that he is desirous of contesting for the office of Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria come 2027,” Nagogo said.
He further revealed that Governor Sule has already set up a working committee to begin groundwork across the Nasarawa North zone, although efforts are still in early stages.
“That committee is still a committee of work in progress because we have yet to reach any reasonable milestone in the process of executing this project. But I consider it imperative that, as the saying goes, charity begins at home. I should be able to take it upon myself to call on my own people of Wamba Local Government and inform them about this project,” he added.
Nagogo, describing Wamba as a stronghold of the APC, urged constituents to give their full support to Governor Sule’s senatorial bid, highlighting his leadership capacity and deep understanding of the district’s political dynamics.
“It is equally my duty to inform my own people way beforehand that in terms of capacity, in terms of the wherewithal, in terms of the in-depth knowledge and understanding of the politics of this senatorial district, Governor Abdullahi Sule is second to none,” he said.
Emphasizing the governor’s deep ties to Wamba, Nagogo insisted the community must lead in backing their own.
“This is our own project. This is the project of the Wamba people,” he declared.
He ended by drawing attention to the governor’s developmental impact across the state, particularly in Lafia, agriculture, and solid minerals.
“At least, we need no emphasis to make our people realise the massive transformation he (Governor Sule) has carried out in Lafia, the state capital. We need nobody to inform us about the very in-depth steps he has taken in improving the agricultural sector in Nasarawa State.
“We need nobody to inform us that in terms of exploration of solid minerals, Governor Abdullahi Sule in Nasarawa State has been the pacesetter,” he added.
