Stakeholders under the aegis of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Elders Forum in Nasarawa North Senatorial District, has endorsed Gov. Abdullahi Sule for the 2027 Senate seat.
The group also called for the rotation of the governorship to Nasarawa West Senatorial District.

The communiqué was signed by Mr Timothy Anjide, Chairman of the forum, and Barr. Hassan Abubakar, APC State Organising Secretary.
According to the communiqué, the forum unanimously endorsed Sule for the Nasarawa North Senatorial seat in the 2027 general elections.
On the forthcoming senatorial bye-election, the forum resolved that the party’s candidate should emerge from Nasarawa Eggon Local Government Area.
It stressed that such a candidate must be credible, widely acceptable and electorally viable, urging that the selection process be concluded without delay.
The forum also resolved that, in the interest of equity and fairness, the 2027 governorship seat should be zoned to Nasarawa West Senatorial District.
It further recommended that the House of Representatives seat be zoned to Wamba Local Government Area, while the deputy governorship position should go to Nasarawa Eggon Local Government Area.
On party unity, the stakeholders emphasised the need for cohesion and collective purpose, urging members to close ranks to strengthen the APC as a formidable political force in the state.
The forum commended party stakeholders for their contributions and commitment to the party’s growth, but urged full implementation of resolutions reached at both the recent strategic meeting with the governor and the stakeholders’ forum.
It also underscored the need to strengthen and adequately fund party structures at all levels to enhance grassroots mobilisation and overall performance.
The stakeholders further lauded elected and appointed public office holders for their support to the party, while calling for improved synergy between office holders, party structures and the electorate.
The forum reaffirmed its loyalty to the APC and its commitment to the unity, stability and electoral success of the party in the senatorial district and beyond.
