The Paramount Ruler of Uke Chiefdom, Alhaji Dr. Ahmed Abdullahi Hassan, on Friday received the Wadada 2027 Campaign Organization, known as the “Wadada Project”, in his palace at Uke.

The meeting was convened by the Karshi Development Area Overseer, Hon. Bala Yakubu, and had in attendance the Special Adviser to the Governor, Hon. Jaafaru Ango; APC party officials from Karshi; and traditional title holders of the Yakanaje Kingdom.

Describing the meeting as historic, the monarch gave his royal blessings to the campaign team.

Speaking at the meeting, the Wadada Project Coordinator for Karu LGA, Hon. Mohammed Bala Isa, urged stakeholders and traditional leaders in Uke to give their unalloyed support to the royal father and to the APC governorship candidate, Senator Ahmed Wadada Aliyu.

He noted that Uke Kingdom is richly blessed with human and mineral resources, especially gold, and stressed that aligning with the APC government under Governor Abdullahi Sule remains the surest path to development.

“Your Highness, Uke is educationally equipped with scholars and blessed with resources. We have our sons serving in this administration. I appeal that you continue to support Governor Sule and Senator Wadada. As a son of Uke, Wadada belongs to you. We are working to ensure that when the time comes for your elevation to First Class status with a staff of office, it will be made easy because of your support for government,” Isa said.

Also speaking, the Karshi Development Area Overseer, Hon. Bala Yakubu, said any community that follows the direction of government will prosper. He called on the people of Uke to support Governor Sule and Senator Wadada to succeed.

In his remarks, the Yakanaje of Uke Kingdom, Alhaji Dr. Ahmed Abdullahi Hassan, said the meeting was to formally introduce Hon. Mohammed Bala Isa to his cabinet following his appointment as Coordinator of the Wadada Project in Karu LGA. Isa also serves as DG of the Nasarawa State Waste Management and Sanitation Agency, NASWAMSA.

“I appreciate God for the favours given to our sons in Uke to serve in various capacities in this administration. Bala Isa’s appointment to lead Senator Wadada’s campaign in Karu is a sign of good things to come, and Uke will not be left out,” the monarch stated.
