The media team of Senator Ahmed Wadada Aliyu has called on the Egbira and Bassa communities in Toto Local Government Area of Nasarawa State to shun ethnic suspicion ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
The team, in a press statement issued on Saturday, stressed that no community should feel threatened by the political aspirations of another, noting that claims that a Wadada-led administration would favour one community at the expense of the other should not be treated as facts without evidence.
It stated that political relationships across ethnic lines do not automatically translate into favouritism, adding that governance should be guided by fairness, inclusion and equal opportunity.
“The issue is not whether one community will overshadow another, but whether all communities will be treated fairly and given the opportunity to contribute to the development of Nasarawa State,” the statement read.
The media team urged political leaders and their supporters to avoid divisive narratives and instead focus on shared concerns such as security, infrastructure, education and economic opportunities.
It further called on the Egbira and Bassa people to sustain their long-standing peaceful relations, stressing that their common interests are better served by mutual respect than ethnic suspicion.
