Nasarawa governor dissociates self from 2027 Senatorial campaign

Gov. Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State, has urged his supporters not to distract him with 2027 senatorial campaigns, saying he is focused on delivering on his present mandate for the people of the state

Sule stated this when he hosted a delegation of traditional rulers and stakeholders from Akwanga Local Government Area on Friday in Lafia.

He particularly called on those already campaigning for him to join the race for the Nasarawa North senatorial district in 2027, to desist.

Sule noted that he was focusing attention to make the next two years left of his administration, the best years for the state.

“We are doing our best to do that. However, you know we can’t do that if we are distracted by campaigns.

“If you see anybody campaigning for A. A Sule as a senator, the person is doing it on his own, ” he said.

The governor, therefore, urged elected officials from Nasarawa North to also focus on their various mandates and to deliver, instead of embarking on early campaigns.

He pointed out that if the officials were able to deliver on their mandates, there won’t be need for prolonged campaigns as the people would ensure they were returned at the end of their tenure.
