The Commissioner, Nasarawa State Internal Revenue Service, and a Chieftain of the APC, Hon. Ibrahim Mohammed Hamza, has condemned the attack on the convoy of Hajiya Maryam Aliyu Wadada, wife of the APC Governorship Candidate in Nasarawa State, Senator Ahmed Wadada Aliyu, in Lafia on Sunday.

Hon. Hamza gave the condemnation in a statement issued to Kwararafa Times on Monday in Lafia.

The Commissioner, who also holds the traditional title of Karfen Dawakin Lafia, described the attack as barbaric and an uncivilised way of playing politics.

“Politicians should find decent and civilised ways of addressing their grievances,” he said. “I caution supporters on all sides against taking the law into their hands. Violence has no place in our democratic process.”

He urged security agencies to investigate the incident and bring the perpetrators to book to serve as a deterrent to others.

Hon. Hamza further called on the people of Lafia Local Government Area to remain accommodating to all citizens of Nasarawa State regardless of their ethnic, religious, or political background.

“Lafia is home to all. We must continue to live together in peace and unity, especially as we approach the 2027 elections,” he added.

Hajiya Maryam Wadada has been at the forefront of women and youth empowerment initiatives across the state under the Hajiya Maryam Wadada Women Empowerment Scheme 2026.

Her husband, Senator Ahmed Wadada Aliyu, is the APC Governorship Candidate for Nasarawa State in the 2027 election. The party has intensified grassroots mobilization across the 13 LGAs in recent weeks ahead of campaigns.

Political stakeholders in the state have in recent days called for issue-based campaigns and cautioned against violence as political activities gather momentum.
