Governor Sule Speaks On Contesting For Senate In 2027

The Governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Sule, has called on his supporters to desist from premature campaigns promoting him for the 2027 Nasarawa North Senatorial seat, stressing his commitment to fulfilling his current mandate.

Naijaonpoint gathered that Sule made this appeal on Friday in Lafia while hosting a delegation of traditional rulers and stakeholders from Akwanga Local Government Area.

Addressing the gathering, the governor emphasized his determination to focus on delivering developmental projects for the state in the remaining two years of his administration.

He said, “We are doing our best to make the next two years the most productive for Nasarawa State.

“However, you know we can’t achieve 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.”

Sule also urged elected officials from Nasarawa North to prioritize their responsibilities and deliver on their mandates rather than engaging in premature political campaigns.

“If the officials deliver on their mandates, there won’t be a need for prolonged campaigns, as the people will naturally support them when the time comes,” the governor added.

2025 Budget Commitment

Highlighting his administration’s commitment to development, Sule expressed confidence that the recently signed 2025 budget, pegged at over ₦384 billion, would pave the way for significant progress.

“We are committed to implementing policies and programs that will have a direct bearing on the lives of our people. The next two years will define the impact of this administration,” he assured.

Traditional Leaders Back Governor

In his remarks, Samson Gamu Yare, the Chun Mada, lauded Governor Sule’s leadership and developmental strides, describing his initiatives as unprecedented.

Yare said, “Your far-reaching development initiatives are visible across the state and are unprecedented in Nasarawa’s history.

“We are here to reaffirm our total support and unflinching loyalty to your administration.”
