Governor Sule Of Nasarawa State Urges Calm Ahead Of 2027 Guber Election—-Gov. Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has urged stakeholders, especially APC governorship aspirants, not to overheat the polity but to follow due political process.

He gave the advice during a stakeholders’ meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nasarawa West Senatorial Zone held in Keffi on Sunday.

The governor said he would announce his preferred successor in 2027 at the appropriate time, without fear or favour.

Sule promised to ensure justice and fairness during the party’s primaries for the progress and development of the APC in the state.

He emphasised that true political power comes from Allah, who alone determines leadership.

“But A.A. Sule also has the right to support someone. When the time comes, I’ll clearly name my preferred candidate.

“And I will not be afraid to publicly endorse who I believe should succeed me,” the governor said.

He appreciated the initiators of the meeting for promoting unity and progress within the zone’s party structure.

He also called on other zones to organise similar engagements for the benefit of the party in the state.

“I am responsible for ensuring the primary election is free, fair, and transparent,” he said.

He urged all party stakeholders to unite and work for the APC’s success beyond the 2027 elections, reminding them power is from God.

Sule also thanked stakeholders, aspirants, and supporters for demonstrating maturity during President Bola Tinubu’s recent visit to the state.

Earlier, Sen. Abdullahi Adamu said it is now the Western Zone’s turn to produce the next Governor of Nasarawa State.

He said the meeting aimed to foster unity among stakeholders and mobilise support for the zone’s 2027 governorship bid.

“Keffi Zone governed for eight years, Lafia for twelve. Akwanga is currently serving its second and final term.

“Therefore, the Western (Keffi) Zone should produce the next governor in 2027,” Adamu said.

Adamu, a former APC National Chairman, urged the zone to remain united to achieve the 2027 governorship goal.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that several prominent APC leaders attended the meeting in Keffi.

Present were Prof. Abdulkarim Kana, APC Legal Adviser; Hajiya Imaan Ibrahim, Minister of Women Affairs; and Mr Abdulmumin Ari, among others.

Also present were Mr Shuaibu Labaran Magaji, the SSG; Alh. Aliyu Tijani, Federal Commissioner; and other politicians and party faithful.

APC Adopts Bola Oyebamiji as Consensus Candidate for Osun Governorship Election—-Bola Oyebamiji, the immediate past Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), has emerged as the All Progressives Congress (APC) consensus candidate for the 2026 Osun State gubernatorial election.

Oyebamiji was adopted on Saturday during the party’s governorship primary in Osogbo after two aspirants, Kunle Adegoke (SAN) and Senator Babajide Omoworare, moved a motion endorsing him as the party’s flagbearer.

The motion was put to a voice vote by the Chairman of the APC governorship primary committee and Governor of Edo State, Monday Okpebholo, and it received overwhelming approval from party members in attendance.

Okpebholo thereafter declared Oyebamiji as the party’s candidate.

“By the power conferred on me, I present to you Bola Oyebamiji as the governorship candidate of our party,” Okpebholo announced.

SaharaReporters gathered that the outcome had been largely predetermined, with party leaders earlier indicating that the primary would be conducted by affirmation rather than through a competitive ballot.

The primary election was attended by top APC figures, including Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule, Lagos State Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat, who represented Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello.

The development followed the emergence earlier in the week of 1,660 delegates expected to participate in the APC’s December 13 governorship primary.

Multiple sources within the party also confirmed that all seven APC governorship aspirants in Osun had agreed to back a consensus candidate after a late-night meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Wednesday.

Former APC National Secretary and one-time Osun governorship aspirant, Senator Iyiola Omisore, had publicly endorsed the consensus arrangement, saying he accepted the decision after consultations with President Tinubu.

Omisore was among seven aspirants earlier disqualified by the APC screening committee over alleged violations of party guidelines and electoral provisions.
