It was plato who said that one of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors. Growing up, I must have been unconsciously guided by this maxim of politics leadership due to my consistent tendency to serve the people. This has been a feature from my younger days at keffi students union, to the creation of association for better Keffi and subsequently the creation of the association of the 40s when I became a house of representative member 2003. It is pertinent to note that I was a founder or founding member of all above associations, particularly the association of under 40s that has produced three speakers of the house of representatives: Bankole, Tambuwal and Dogara.

It was in the light of the above that I Aliyu Wadada Ahmed declare my intention to run for the office of the governor of Nasarawa state in 2019. “In God we trust”.
We shall join hands with the good people of Nasarawa to make our dearly beloved state a befitting one where there would be the dignity of life. I bring to the good people of Nasarawa state a credible, dynamic, and contemporary opportunity to improve our commonwealth as a state.

Our state is bounded by FCT, Kaduna, Plateau and Benue and Taraba states. The potentials of the state state and its population of 3million people are yet to be fully harnessed.
