The article “2027: Senator Wadada and the Cacophony of Fear,” written by one Adamu Egbe, which appeared in Nasarawa Mirror presents several misconceptions and biases regarding Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada’s political ambitions in Nasarawa State. Although the write-up does not deserve a rejoinder since it was anchored on misconceptions. But to put the record straight, it is crucial to address these inaccuracies in the article and shift the focus towards the real issues affecting the state. In the said article, the writer unsuccessfully tried to bring up the issue of political affiliation and zoning, which the article suggests that Senator Wadada is uncertain about his political party and he is opposed to zoning. Here we wish to state that Senator Wadada is very much certain about the platform he is going to contest his governorship aspiration. As for the zoning, of course, as we are all aware, zoning has no place in democracy. In democracy, what matters the most is popularity. Senator Wadada, without fear of being contradicted, is more popular than all the governorship aspirants who have shown their interest. While it is true that ethnic nationalism and religion play an important role in our politics, but our responsibility at this moment is to educate our people against it. Instead of doing that, the article tried to raise tension about ethnic nationalism and religious factors in Nasarawa politics. While these are significant issues, but we should address them constructively rather than used to discredit Senator Wadada. Instead of focusing on personal attacks, it would be more beneficial to discuss Senator Wadada’s plans for governance. For example we should interrogate what policies does he propose to introduce, and what infrastructures does he propose to establish or create that will improve our education and economic development? These are what should preoccupy our minds as enlightened citizens.Leadership responsibility is essential in governance, which we must all pay attention to. Senator Wadada, without being told, has sufficiently demonstrated his commitment to serving the public interest rather than personal ambitions.The political discourse in Nasarawa should centre on the candidates’ visions for the state’s future rather speculative fears. Let us engage in constructive dialogue that benefits the people of Nasarawa, instead of bringing up issues pertaining to ethnicity and religion, which can’t take us anywhere.
