The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nasarawa State has unveiled Emmanuel Michael Umbugadu as the running mate to Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada ahead of the 2027 Governorship polls.
The decision was reached after a meeting with selected stakeholders of the party in Abuja Monday.
Presiding over the meeting, Governor Abdullahi Sule explained that the meeting was meant to harmonize the views of critical stakeholders and party leadership ahead of the release of the final list of governorship candidates by INEC.
After the meeting, a decision was reached and Emmanuel Umbugadu was unveiled as the running mate to Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada.
According to Governor Sule, the decision followed consideration and agreement by the party stakeholders as well as contenders for the position of Deputy Governor under the platform of the APC.
Appreciating the stakeholders for their contributions and commitment to ensuring the party remains afloat, Senator Wadada said he accepts Emmanuel Michael Umbugadu, adding that he would fortify the party’s move ahead of the upcoming elections.
For Emmanuel Michael Umbugadu, his selection from among other competent persons is an honour and a responsibility to further the cause and interest of the APC across Nasarawa State.
The event also provided an avenue for Blessing Ebuga to present her letter of withdrawal as the running mate to Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada, to pave the way for her replacement with Emmanuel Michael Umbugadu.
