Keffi, a historic town known for its vibrant political culture, came alive on Wednesday as supporters of Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada gathered in large numbers to publicly reaffirm their loyalty to Governor Abdullahi A. Sule and endorse the state’s zoning arrangement.
The rally, marked by chants, party insignia, and a visible show of unity, drew a cross-section of party faithful, community leaders, and political stakeholders from across Nasarawa State. The atmosphere reflected not only political enthusiasm but also a deliberate message: respect for established agreements remains central to peace and progress in the state.
At the heart of the gathering was a strong endorsement of the zoning formula, and an arrangement widely regarded as a mechanism to ensure equitable distribution of political offices among the state’s diverse constituencies. Speakers at the event emphasized that zoning is more than a political compromise; it is a stabilizing force designed to promote fairness, inclusion, and long-term harmony.
“Zoning is about justice and balance,” one party chieftain told the crowd. “It ensures that every region and group has a sense of belonging in the political process. That is how we build trust and sustain development.”
Supporters also used the platform to commend Governor Sule’s leadership style, describing it as pragmatic and inclusive. They praised his administration’s efforts toward infrastructural development and governance reforms, noting that political stability remains a key ingredient for sustained progress.
Similarly, Senator Wadada was lauded for what supporters described as his loyalty to party principles and his commitment to cooperation within the All Progressives Congress (APC). Speakers highlighted the importance of synergy between elected officials and party stakeholders, arguing that unity within the APC is essential to maintaining its dominance and delivering on campaign promises.
Observers at the rally noted that beyond its celebratory tone, the event carried strategic undertones. With political alignments often shaping the future of governance in the state, the public show of solidarity was widely interpreted as a reaffirmation of internal party cohesion amid shifting political dynamics.
As the rally drew to a close, participants collectively pledged continued support for the APC leadership in Nasarawa State. They reiterated their commitment to policies and political arrangements that prioritize inclusiveness, equity, and good governance.
In a political landscape where disagreements over power-sharing can spark tension, Wednesday’s gathering in Keffi served as a reminder that consensus and dialogue remain vital tools for preserving unity. For the supporters of Senator Wadada and Governor Sule, the message was clear: respect for zoning is not just a political stance, it is a pathway to stability and shared progress in Nasarawa State.
