Former Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has intensified political mobilization across Nasarawa State as he prepares for a fierce battle in the forthcoming All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary.
The former police chief has reportedly embarked on strategic visits to various wards across the state, rallying party supporters and urging delegates and members to participate actively in the primary election using their APC e-membership cards.
Adamu’s growing grassroots consultations are seen as part of an aggressive campaign to consolidate support ahead of the high-stakes contest expected to shape the political future of Nasarawa State.
Political observers say the race is gradually emerging as a major showdown between powerful interests within the ruling party, with Adamu squaring up against Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada, who is widely believed to enjoy the backing of Governor Abdullahi Sule.
Sources within the APC say both camps have intensified consultations, lobbying, and grassroots outreach as the battle for the party’s governorship ticket gathers momentum.
During his visits, Adamu reportedly appealed to party faithful to remain united and committed to the APC while emphasizing the importance of participating in the primary process through the party’s digital membership system.
Supporters of the former IGP have continued to project him as a candidate with national experience, security expertise, and administrative capacity capable of leading Nasarawa State.
Meanwhile, Senator Wadada’s camp is also said to be consolidating support across key political blocs in the state, setting the stage for what analysts describe as one of the most closely watched APC primaries in the North-Central region.
The contest is already generating intense political interest within and outside Nasarawa, with party stakeholders monitoring the evolving alliances and power calculations ahead of the decisive primary election.
