In a strategic move to deepen grassroots mobilisation ahead of 2027, the APC Governorship Candidate, Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada, has distributed 20 Sharon vehicles to support groups, community organisations and women groups working for his project across Nasarawa State.


The vehicles were allocated to groups operating in different parts of the state, with beneficiaries drawn from diverse ethnic, religious, political and community backgrounds.
For the beneficiaries, the gesture goes beyond the value of the vehicles. It provides the needed logistics to move across communities, attend meetings, reach supporters and sustain regular contact at the grassroots.

Among the beneficiaries are the 9 Ward Progressive Forum for Wadada in Lafia, Project 146 for Wadada, Wadada Links Office Lafia and the Akurba Link Movement for Wadada.

Traditional and community institutions also benefited, including the Eze Igbo Palace in Lafia and Och’Idoma Palace, Lafia, while the Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara Forum in Keffi was also supported.


Women groups were given special attention in the distribution, with vehicles allocated to the Action Women Group, the Association of Female Councillors and Female Politicians in Nasarawa State, as well as the Forum of Women Councillors covering Keffi, Akwanga and Lafia zones.


Other beneficiaries include Pastor Simeon Bakeri, Nasarawa Aid and Relief Foundation, Agatu United for Wadada, Tiv Forum, Panda Concern Group, Alhaji Musa Odu of Ago Keffi, ERCC Headquarters Nasarawa State and the Maulud Committee in Keffi.


The distribution reflects the wide range of groups that have continued to identify with the Wadada project, bringing together political supporters, women, traditional institutions, faith-based organisations and ethnic associations.


Rather than leaving mobilisation to campaign offices alone, the gesture places logistics directly in the hands of groups already active within their communities.


As the 2027 political season gathers momentum, supporters say the vehicles will make engagement more regular, more organised and closer to the people.
