2027: Governor Sule to run for Nasarawa North senatorial seat

Nasarawa State Governor, Engineer Abdullahi Sule, has made known his intention to run for the Nasarawa North senatorial district during the 2027 general election. 

Alhaji Suleiman Musa Nagogo, Director-General, Nasarawa State Bureau for Pension Administration, disclosed this while speaking to All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders in Wamba on Monday.

According to the DG Pension Bureau, he has been communicated by the Governor on his intention to run for the Senate seat come 2027.

“I have been in Wamba this Monday morning with a crystal clear message from His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Nasarawa State, Engineer Abdullahi A. 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 come 2027,” he stated.

Nagogo explained that following his resolve to contest for the senate seat, Governor Sule has appointed a committee to handle the project across the Nasarawa North senatorial district.

“That committee is still a committee of work in progress because we are yet to reach any reasonable milestone in the process of execution of 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.

While emphasizing that Wamba is the home of the APC, Nagogo said Wamba is where he expects the people to give their full support to the Governor in his bid to represent the zone at the Red Chamber.

“It is equally my duty to inform my own people way before hand that in terms of capacity, in terms of the wherewithal, in terms of the indepth knowledge and understanding of the politics of this senatorial district, A. A. Sule is second to none,” he said.

The DG Pension Bureau reiterated that Governor Sule has made Wamba his home, adding that there is no any reason why Wamba should allow any other place to take the lead in supporting the Governor to realize his political ambition.

“This is our own project. This is the project of Wamba people,” he added.

He explained that it is also his responsibility to draw the attention of the people to the development strides recorded by the Governor, not only in the Nasarawa North senatorial district but across the state.

“At least, we need no emphasis to make our people realise the massive transformation he has carried out in Lafia, the state capital. We need nobody to inform us about the very indepth 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, A. A. Sule in Nasarawa State has been the pacesetter,” he said.
