Former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Mohammed Abubakar-Adamu has assured the people of Karu Local Government Area that he has the capacity to defeat Governor Abdullahi Sule's preferred successor, Senator Aliyu Ahmed-Wadada, if free and fair primaries are conducted. At a mega rally organized by his supporters in Karu to garner support for his governorship ambition, the Director of Operations and Command in the Ex-IGP governorship campaign organization, Adams Useni, explained that the Ex-IGP has been accepted by the entire people of Nasarawa State.
Ex-IGP's Appeal for Fair Primaries
As a frontline governorship aspirant in Nasarawa State under the All Progressives Congress (APC), Useni stated that all he is appealing for is for the National Secretariat of the party to conduct free and fair primaries in the state. According to him, there is going to be a primary election and the Ex-IGP Adamu will emerge victorious because the entire people of the state have accepted him.
His words: “We are here today in Karu, the people of Karu have shown love, they have shown concern, they have shown that they are for IGP. We are here to support them, show solidarity, and we are asking for a free, fair democracy; we are asking for people’s participation.”
Security Background as an Asset
He, however, maintained that “The former IGP Adamu has his background in the security sector of the country, having worked to the level of an Inspector General of Police. We believe that he will help tackle insecurity when he is finally elected Governor of the State.”
Also speaking, the Director of Contact and Mobilization in the Campaign, Isa Nathaniel, narrated that the campaign organization has received more than 3,000 different groups seeking to organize this rally to show support for the Ex-IGP. “They are here to show that the Retired IGP is the man to beat; he is an unbeatable choice. With him as Governor of the State, he will work with Mr President to have a safer Nasarawa State,” he concluded.
Governor Sule's Endorsement Not Binding
He explained that the declaration of Senator Aliyu-Wadada by Governor Sule is his personal opinion and does not bind other card-carrying members of the APC. Come the primary election, they will come out in large numbers to stand behind the Ex-IGP Adamu.
