Director-General, Nasarawa State Bureau for Pension Administration, Suleiman Nagogo, has disclosed that Governor Abdullahi Sule will contest the senatorial seat of Nasarawa North in 2027.
Mr Nagogo disclosed this on Tuesday while speaking with stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress in the Wamba Local Government Area of the state.
According to him, the governor informed him of his intention to contest the election to represent the Nasarawa North senatorial district in 2027.
He said: “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.”
Mr Nagogo also disclosed that the governor had appointed a committee to handle the project of his senatorial bid.
“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.
The governor’s aide further explained that it was also his responsibility to draw the attention of the people to the developmental 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 [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 said.
