In the face of mounting political activities ahead of the 2027 governorship elections, Hon. Ibrahim Hamza has publicly lauded Governor Engr. Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State for his steady and prudent handling of the state’s complex political landscape. The commendation comes as the state witnesses an influx of governorship aspirants, each vying for influence and support, a situation that could potentially destabilize the political environment.

Hon. Hamza, a former Public Relations Officer of the PDP in Nasarawa who recently defected to the APC, praised Governor Sule’s remarkable ability to maintain calm and promote stability amidst the growing political pressures. According to Hamza, the governor’s tenure has been distinguished by his unwavering commitment to fostering unity and preventing the factionalism that typically characterizes intense electoral seasons.

“The governor’s approach has been crucial in ensuring political activities remain peaceful and constructive, thereby safeguarding Nasarawa’s progress and social cohesion,” Hamza remarked. This peaceful political atmosphere, he emphasized, has been pivotal in enabling ongoing socio-economic development within the state.

As the governorship race intensifies with numerous aspirants emerging, Hon. Hamza urged Governor Sule to adopt a more proactive role in guiding the selection of candidates. He highlighted the importance of choosing leaders with genuine grassroots appeal — individuals deeply connected to and understanding of Nasarawa’s diverse communities. Such leaders, Hamza believes, are essential to ensuring that governance remains inclusive and responsive.

Furthermore, Hamza applauded Governor Sule’s directive for political appointees to refrain from politicking for the time being, a move that has significantly contributed to maintaining political order. He encouraged the governor to take critical steps in identifying and supporting an aspirant who embodies grassroots connection, capable of sustaining the state’s developmental trajectory beyond 2027.

“At this stage of Nasarawa’s development, the state needs a grassroots-oriented aspirant who can mobilize and inspire broad-based community support,” Hamza said, stressing the urgency for a consensus candidate within the APC.

In closing, Hon. Ibrahim Hamza urged Governor Sule to leverage his influence and experience to nurture such leadership, ensuring that Nasarawa continues on its path of growth and prosperity under leaders who truly represent the hopes and aspirations of the people. He also commended the governor’s strategic focus on socio-economic development, which remains the bedrock of the state’s stability and progress.

This endorsement from a key political figure underscores the confidence many have in Governor Sule’s leadership amid one of the most politically dynamic periods in Nasarawa’s recent history.
