Senator Ahmed Wadada Aliyu, APC governorship candidate for Nasarawa State, has called on his supporters to remain calm and resist any provocation from the opposition, insisting that his records of service are available for all to see and need no defence through fighting or insults.
Senator Wadada made the call while addressing the Women Action Group, a coalition of women groups from across the 13 local government areas of the state, at the Lafia City Hall on Saturday.
He said politics is not a business for troublemakers or a platform for madness, but a means of contributing to the development and progress of the community.
He said he is in politics for one reason: to bring development to the people of Nasarawa State.
Senator Wadada said anyone who looks at his antecedents, his record, and what he has done for the people over the years would find no reason to doubt his commitment to their welfare.
He said the same applies to the APC as a party, both at the state and federal levels, stressing that a party with genuine achievements to show has no cause to trade insults with anyone.
Wadada urged his supporters not to respond to provocation, no matter its source, saying politics should be conducted with maturity and should never degenerate into a fight.
According to him, the choice before the people of Nasarawa State is between a candidate trained to serve the people and one trained not to sympathize with the people.
Senator Wadada thanked the women for their support and urged them to continue mobilising for the APC ahead of the 2027 general election.
He announced a donation of N10 million and a Sharon vehicle to the Women Action Group to support their mobilisation efforts ahead of the 2027 general election.
Speaking on behalf of the group, its leader, Hon. Sabina Albashi, pledged the support of women across the state for Senator Wadada’s governorship ambition, describing him as a leader who understands the concerns of the people, and assured him of their votes at the polls.
Hon. Albashi emphasized that their PVCs is for the APC governorship candidate and that they will use it decisively to usher Senator Wadada to Shendam Road Government House come 2027.
