A new political mobilisation platform, the Nasarawa State Rainbow Coalition, has declared support for Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada for Governor and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term in the 2027 general elections.

The Coalition, inaugurated in Lafia, said it was formed to promote unity, inclusive leadership, good governance and political stability across Nasarawa State and Nigeria.

Addressing members at the meeting, a veteran grassroots politician, Hon. Osuza Osude Osumanyi, said the Coalition was initiated by Mr. Haruna Abisabo, FCA, FCMA, ANAN, and modeled after the Rainbow Coalition associated with Barr. Nyesom Wike.

According to the Coalition, it brings together citizens from different political, ethnic, religious, professional and community backgrounds under a shared vision for a better Nasarawa State.

The group stated that its support for the APC candidates is “rooted in the conviction that unity should rise above political differences, leadership should be people-centred, and development should reach every community.”

The Nasarawa Rainbow Coalition announced it will mobilize citizens across the 13 Local Government Areas of the state ahead of the 2027 polls.

Its mission, the group said, is to ensure a peaceful, credible and inclusive electoral process while advancing youth empowerment, economic opportunity, security and sustainable development.

“To unite the people of Nasarawa State across political, ethnic, religious, and geographical divides in support of Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada for Governor and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for President in 2027, under the platform of the All Progressives Congress,” the Coalition stated in its political mission.

The group adopted “UNITY IN DIVERSITY • PROGRESS IN PURPOSE” as its motto.

Leaders at the meeting urged other socio-cultural and professional groups in the state to join the movement to ensure the APC retains the presidency and continue at the Government House in Lafia in 2027.

They expressed confidence that with collective effort, the party would consolidate on the gains of the Governor Abdullahi A. Sule administration and deliver victory at both state and national levels.

The Coalition said it will begin statewide sensitization and membership drive in the coming weeks.
