The recent opinion piece by Ibrahim Musa Andafu, titled “Senator Wadada Has No Convincing Scorecard To Present,” is a poorly veiled attempt to undermine a distinguished public servant whose contributions to Nasarawa State and Nigeria are well-documented.

It is glaring to all that the article reeks of political bias, factual inaccuracies, and a deliberate refusal to acknowledge Senator Wadada’s achievements.

Contrary to the writer’s claims, Senator Wadada has consistently demonstrated visionary leadership, legislative impact, and an unwavering commitment to the people of Nasarawa West.

His record in the Senate speaks for itself:

Senator Wadada has sponsored and co-sponsored critical bills and motions aimed at improving security, education, and infrastructure in Nasarawa State. His advocacy for community policing and youth empowerment has been widely recognized.

Through his constituency projects, thousands of youths, women, and farmers have benefited from skill acquisition programs, agricultural support, and educational scholarships.

Roads, healthcare centers, and school renovations have been facilitated under his representation, directly improving the lives of his constituents.

These achievements are verifiable and have been reported by credible media outlets, including Blueprint, Daily Trust, and The Nation.

The writer’s claim that “nobody is scared of Senator Wadada” is laughable. If that were true, why the relentless attacks? The truth is, Senator Wadada’s rising influence and grassroots appeal unsettle political opportunists who prefer a stagnant Nasarawa State.

His boldness in speaking his mind and advocating for good governance has earned him respect across party lines, a fact that evidently irks his detractors.

The attempt to elevate other politicians at the expense of Senator Wadada is a cheap diversion. While the writer praises certain individuals as “go-getters,” the question remains: Where are their verifiable achievements?

Senator Wadada’s impact is measurable, not based on mere rhetoric or political theatrics.

Senator Wadada remains focused on service, not mudslinging. If the writer truly believes in democracy, he should allow the people of Nasarawa to judge their leaders based on performance, not propaganda.

As the 2027 elections approach, Senator Wadada will present his scorecard, and the electorate, not faceless critics, will have the final say.

For now, we urge the public to disregard this hatchet job and focus on the facts. Senator Wadada’s record is open for scrutiny, and it stands tall above the noise of desperate opposition.
