Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has said he intends to contest the Nasarawa North senatorial seat in the 2027 elections.
According to Daily Trust, the governor made this known while receiving members of the State Executive Council who paid him a Sallah visit at his residence in Gudi, Akwanga Local Government Area.
Sule explained that traditional rulers and political leaders from Nasarawa North had been urging him to run for the Senate.
“Considering the pressure I am getting from our leaders, and I don’t want it to seem like I’m ignoring their wishes, I have agreed to contest when the time comes,” he said.
He added that he had earlier planned to support another candidate, but later changed his mind after the individual also joined those encouraging him to run.
Governor Sule is expected to complete his second term in office in 2027, having first been elected in 2019.
