The campaign organisation of former Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar Adamu, has rejected claims that the former police chief lacks a political platform to contest the 2027 Nasarawa State governorship election.

The organisation was reacting to comments by the Nasarawa State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Aliyu Bello, who reportedly questioned Adamu’s platform for the contest.

In a statement on Friday signed by its Director of Media and Strategic Communications, Otaru Douglas, the campaign described Bello’s position as “false, laughable and born out of panic.”

It maintained that Adamu remained in the governorship race and had secured a platform through his membership of the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

According to the campaign, Adamu’s departure from the APC followed what it described as a controversial governorship primary and was intended to provide an alternative political platform for voters in the state.
