Governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Sule, has declared his intention to contest the Nasarawa North senatorial seat in the 2027 general elections.
Sule made this known while receiving members of the State Executive Council on a Sallah visit at his residence in Gudi, Akwanga Local Government Area.
The governor said the decision followed sustained pressure from traditional rulers and political leaders in Nasarawa North, who had been urging him to run for the Senate.
“Considering the pressure I am getting from our leaders, and I don’t want it to seem like I’m ignoring their wishes, I have agreed to contest when the time comes,” he said.
He added that he had initially planned to support another candidate but later reconsidered after the individual joined others in persuading him to contest.
Sule is expected to complete his second term in office in 2027, having first been elected governor in 2019.
