Governor Abdullahi Sule has dramatically set the stage for the 2027 governorship race, openly endorsing Senator Aliyu Wadada as his preferred successor under the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The surprise anointment, announced at the Government House before top political appointees, signals a bold power move that could reshape the state’s political landscape ahead of the next election cycle.
Wadada, a first-term senator representing Nasarawa West, recently dumped the Social Democratic Party (SDP) for the APC—fueling speculations that have now been confirmed with the governor’s backing.
The endorsement is expected to trigger intense political maneuvering within the ruling party, as aspirants jostle for relevance in what is already shaping up to be a high-stakes succession battle.
