Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress in the Nasarawa South Senatorial District of Nasarawa State have called for the party’s deputy governorship ticket ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The stakeholders argued that since the party’s governorship candidate, Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada, emerged from the Nasarawa West Senatorial District, the deputy governorship candidate should come from the Southern Senatorial District to strengthen the APC’s chances of winning the 2027 governorship election.
The position was contained in a communiqué signed by the convener, Ayuba Umbugadu, and made available to journalists shortly after the Nasarawa South APC Critical Stakeholders’ Meeting held on Saturday in Lafia, the state capital.
According to the communiqué, the meeting was convened to deliberate on issues affecting the APC’s electoral fortunes and political future ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
Umbugadu said the stakeholders reviewed the state’s political landscape and emphasised the need for inclusiveness, competence, grassroots acceptance, loyalty to the party and electoral viability in the selection of the deputy governorship candidate.
