Members of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, have pledged full support for Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada as the preferred successor of Governor Abdullahi Sule ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
The lawmakers made their position known after a majority caucus meeting, where they deliberated on party unity, internal cohesion and recent political developments within the state.
Speaker of the House, Danladi Jatau, who addressed journalists after the meeting, said APC legislators remain firmly aligned with the governor’s decision.
“We have discussed issues around unity, peace, and progress of our party, including the endorsement of Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada as Governor Sule’s preferred successor. As APC lawmakers, we are united, loyal to the party, and will abide by the governor’s choice,” he stated.
Jatau commended Governor Sule for what he described as effective leadership and cooperation among the various arms of government in the state, noting that such synergy has contributed to peace and development.
“We appreciate His Excellency for the way he is managing the affairs of the state. The relationship between the executive and the legislature has brought stability and progress,” he added.
Reaffirming their position, the lawmakers declared full backing for Senator Wadada, insisting that their earlier commitment during consultations with governorship aspirants remains unchanged.
“We told all aspirants that we would support whoever the governor anoints. That position remains firm. We are fully backing Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada as Governor Sule’s successor in 2027,” he said.
The Speaker also called on other APC aspirants to accept the governor’s decision and work towards party unity ahead of the next general elections, urging collective mobilisation for the party’s success.
