Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada has officially received the All Progressives Congress (APC) flag as the party’s governorship candidate for the 2027 general election in Nasarawa State.

The presentation, which took place today, November 14, 2026, at the APC zonal Rally held at Zaria Road stadium Jos, Plateau state before the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shattima and other prominent party leaders. Today’s presentation follows Senator Wadada’s victory at the APC governorship primary election held on Thursday, May 21, 2026.

Wadada emerged victorious after polling 195,285 votes, defeating six other aspirants to clinch the party’s ticket.

The result was announced by the Chairman of the APC Governorship Primary Election Committee, Professor Theodore Bala Maiyaki (SAN), who declared Wadada the winner after the exercise conducted across the state’s 147 electoral wards.

His closest challenger, former Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu Abubakar, came second in the contest.

Wadada’s emergence as the APC flag bearer followed weeks of political consultations and Governor Abdullahi Sule’s public endorsement of his candidacy ahead of the primary election.

With the formal presentation of the party’s flag, Senator Wadada now moves a step closer to the 2027 governorship election, where he will lead the APC’s campaign to retain control of Nasarawa State.

The development marks another significant milestone in the senator Wadada’s political journey as preparations intensify for the forthcoming governorship contest.
