Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has officially declared his intention to run for a senatorial seat in the 2027 general elections.

The announcement was made during a stakeholders’ meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Wamba Local Government Area of Nasarawa state on Tuesday.

The Director-General of the State’s Bureau for Pension Administration, Suleiman Musa Nagogo, who spoke on behalf of Sule said the Governor instructed him to announce 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.”

Nagogo explained that following his resolve to contest for the senate seat, 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 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 people of Wamba Local Government and inform them about this project,” he added.
