Lafia, Nasarawa state – A support group within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused party officials in Nasarawa state of being compromised and unable to conduct free and fair governorship primaries, as tensions rise over the party’s governorship ticket
Nasarawa 2027: Group calls for external oversight. In a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday, May 5, the Nasarawa APC Integrity Forum said party officials at state, local government, and ward levels were under “intense pressure” to align with the governor’s position.
The statement, signed by the group’s coordinator, Zamani Daniel, and secretary Ibrahim Tukur, called for independent officials to oversee the primaries, arguing that those currently in charge lack the “moral standing and courage” to ensure credibility.
According to the group, there are plans to use ward officials to validate “prearranged results,” raising fears that the outcome may be determined before voting takes place.
Nasarawa 2027: Allegations of high-level backing. The group further alleged that meetings between Senator Wadada and Governor Sule were being held privately, with claims that they had backing from President Bola Tinubu and businessman Gilbert Chagoury to secure the ticket.
