The All Progressives Congress (APC) Gubernatorial Candidate for Nasarawa State, Senator Ahmed Wadada Aliyu, has engaged the leadership and pastors of the Evangelical Reformed Church of Christ (ERCC) in Akwanga as part of his ongoing consultations with critical stakeholders across the state.

Senator Wadada held the interactive session at the ERCC Mount Zion Church, Akwanga, where he presented his legislative scorecard and unveiled his development blueprint, the _HEARTS Agenda_, outlining his vision for a more prosperous, inclusive and sustainably developed Nasarawa State.

The engagement provided the APC gubernatorial candidate an opportunity to interact directly with Church leaders, listen to their perspectives and further articulate his plans for the state ahead of the 2027 gubernatorial election.

Senator Wadada emphasized the need for purposeful leadership that is accessible to the people, responsive to their needs and committed to delivering measurable development across all parts of Nasarawa State.

He reiterated that his vision is anchored on building _“One Nasarawa”_, where communities, regardless of faith, ethnicity or political affiliation, can participate meaningfully in the development of the state and benefit from responsive governance.

In his response, the President of ERCC, Very Reverend Dave Denji appreciated Senator Wadada for initiating the engagement, noting that platforms of this nature provide citizens and stakeholders with the opportunity to understand the vision, programmes and commitments of political candidates.

He urged Senator Wadada, if elected Governor of Nasarawa State, to sustain an open-door policy and maintain regular engagement with religious leaders, communities and citizens across the state.

The ERCC engagement was attended by prominent political leaders and stakeholders, including Hon. Emmanuel Michael Ombugadu, Hon. Kwanta Yakubu, Barr. Isaac Danladi, Hon. Tony Bala Shammah, Dr. Haruna Kigbu, Hon. Emma Bako, Hon. Bello Ramalan, Hon. Danladi Madaki, Barr. Abubakar Obere, Dr. Esther Alu, and other members of Senator Wadada’s political family.

The engagement forms part of Senator Wadada’s broader stakeholder consultations as he continues to engage communities and key institutions across Nasarawa State on his vision for a new era of purposeful, inclusive and development-focused leadership.
