The Deputy Governor of Nasarawa State, Dr. Emmanuel Agbadu Akabe, has been appointed Grand Patron of the AA to AA Alago Agenda 2027, a political mobilisation movement rallying grassroots support for Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada ahead of the 2027 governorship election.

The appointment was announced on Tuesday when the leadership of the group paid him a courtesy visit in Lafia.

Responding, Dr. Akabe commended the group for what he described as a timely and strategic initiative for the political advancement of the Alago nation.

He noted that he remains one of the greatest beneficiaries of the APC-led administration in Alago land, having served as Commissioner for Health and now serving his second term as Deputy Governor.

The Deputy Governor reiterated the commitment of the administration of Governor Abdullahi A. Sule to delivering more dividends of democracy, and urged the Alago people to sustain their support for the government.

He charged the leadership of AA to AA to go beyond political mobilisation by taking the message of government programmes, policies and achievements to every corner of Alago communities.

He specifically tasked the movement to intensify grassroots engagement in support of the candidacy of Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada, stressing the need for coordinated and sustained mobilisation.

Dr. Akabe assured the delegation of his readiness to support the movement both financially and morally.

In a major show of commitment, he announced that he will provide an empowerment package for over 500 vulnerable persons at the forthcoming endorsement rally in honour of Senator Wadada.

Earlier, leaders of the AA to AA Alago Agenda 2027 thanked the Deputy Governor for accepting to serve as Grand Patron and pledged to remain steadfast in mobilising support for the APC and Senator Wadada’s 2027 ambition.
