Governor Abdullahi Sule has secured a decisive victory in the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial primaries in Moroa Ward, Nasarawa North, polling 1,322 votes while his challenger, former Deputy Governor Silas Ali Agara, received zero votes. The result, announced on Monday by returning officer Otso Affi, underscores strong party loyalty and support for the incumbent governor in the ward. The primary election took place in Moroa, located in Akwanga Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, as part of the APC’s ongoing senatorial primaries across the state.
Kassim Muhammad Kassim, Executive Chairman of the Nasarawa State Universal Basic Education Board (NSUBEB), played a key role in mobilizing support for Governor Sule during the exercise. His leadership and organizational efforts contributed significantly to the overwhelming turnout and the lopsided result in favor of the governor. Party members who participated in the voting process were accredited and monitored to ensure transparency and adherence to party protocols.
The outcome in Moroa Ward reflects a broader trend of political consolidation within the APC in Nasarawa North, where Governor Sule’s administration has been credited with infrastructural development, security improvements, and economic initiatives. The absence of votes for Silas Ali Agara, despite his past political experience, suggests a strong preference among party members for continuity and stability under Sule’s leadership.
Otso Affi, the returning officer, officially declared the results after the conclusion of the voting process. He emphasized that the exercise was conducted in a peaceful and orderly manner, with no reported incidents of violence or electoral malpractice. The accreditation of party members was verified before voting commenced, ensuring that only eligible participants cast ballots.
This victory in Moroa Ward adds momentum to Governor Sule’s campaign for the APC senatorial ticket in Nasarawa North. With strong grassroots support and a well-organized campaign structure, Sule is positioning himself as a formidable candidate in the upcoming general elections. The result also highlights the influence of key party figures like Kassim Muhammad Kassim in shaping electoral outcomes at the local level.
As the APC continues its primaries across other wards and local governments, the outcome in Moroa serves as a benchmark for the level of support Sule commands within the party. The result is expected to boost his confidence and energize his campaign team as they prepare for the next phase of the electoral process. The political landscape in Nasarawa State remains dynamic, with the APC’s internal dynamics playing a crucial role in determining the state’s representation in the National Assembly.
