The Agatu United for Wadada 2027, a grassroots mobilization group, has empowered over 100 vulnerable persons in Loko Area Administrative Council of Nasarawa State with cash running into over one million naira.

State Coordinator of the group, Mr. God’spower Ede, disclosed this during the group’s empowerment and sensitization outreach to Loko on Thursday.

According to Mr. Ede, the gesture was part of the group’s commitment to bringing relief to struggling families and deepening awareness for Senator Ahmed Wadada Aliyu’s governorship bid among the Agatu community in the area.

He noted that the Wadada project is every Agatu man’s business because of his ancestral root, being a grandson of the Agatu nation, and called for massive support for him and all APC candidates on the ballot. He also urged beneficiaries to make judicious use of the cash.

Speaking separately, the Administrator of Loko Area Administrative Council, Hon. Shuaibu Umar Loko, and the Secretary of Nasarawa Local Government Council, Mrs. Aisha Isa Idoma, lauded the leadership and members of Agatu United for Wadada for championing the campaign for Distinguished Senator Ahmed Wadada Aliyu’s governorship ambition ahead of the 2027 election in Nasarawa State.

The duo commended the cash empowerment initiative and urged beneficiaries and other Agatu people to vote for their own in 2027 so as to attract more government presence to their localities.

Also speaking, the Chairman of the Agatu Cultural and Development Association, Nasarawa LGA, Mr. James Amedu, Special Assistant to Senator Wadada, Hon. Solomon Daniel, Hon. Usman Musa Ogba and Hajiya Maryam Otache described the outing as historic among the Agatu people and lauded the leadership of the group for embarking on the outreach.

During the event, the group inaugurated coordinators and women leaders for the three electoral wards of Loko, Guto/Aisa and Tunga/Bakono to deepen mobilization for Wadada in the locality.

The group had earlier paid a traditional homage to the Emir of Loko, Alh. Abubakar Ahmed Sabo, in his palace for royal blessings.
