The Coordinator of Agatu United for Wadada 2027, Mr. God’spower Ede, has called on Agatu people across party lines to massively support the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Nasarawa State, Distinguished Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada, ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Mr. Ede said electing Wadada will guarantee peace, unity and sustainable development for the Agatu Nation.

He made the call on Saturday during the Agatu Cultural Day organized by the National Association of Agatu and Idoma Students, Nasarawa State University, Keffi Chapter.

The Coordinator urged the students to bury their personal political differences and work collectively in the interest of Agatu Nation, noting that Agatu people are fortunate to have Senator Wadada, a grandson of Agatu land, as the flag-bearer of the ruling APC.

He stated that given Wadada’s track record of achievements in previous public offices and his humanitarian gestures across Nasarawa State, his emergence as governor would attract significant development to Agatu people in their ancestral locations of Loko, Udege and Ekye Area Administrative Council.

According to him, Wadada will prioritize critical projects such as roads, healthcare, education, peace-building and general well-being of the Agatu people.

Mr. Ede commended the students for organizing the cultural day to showcase the rich cultural identity of the Agatu people, and urged them to remain united, organized and committed to their academic pursuits.

Earlier, the President of the National Association of Agatu and Idoma Students, NSUK Chapter, Comrade Nuhu Aboh, said the essence of the gathering was to promote cultural unity and solicited the support of Agatu stakeholders for the unity and academic success of members.

The event featured goodwill messages from dignitaries including Barr. Emmanuel Eigege, ADC candidate for Doma South Constituency; Hon. Usman Musa Ogba, immediate past President of the Association; and former Commissioner for Water Resources in Benue State, Hon. John Ngbede, who was represented by Dr. Adeyi Ngbede, among others.

Highlights of the event were cultural dances and display of traditional delicacies.
