2027: We’re not worried about opposition parties – Gov. A. A.Sule

By Jude Opara

As political parties continue to re-strategize for the 2027 elections, Governor of Nasarawa state, Engr. Abdullahi A. Sule, of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has averred that the opposition parties don’t have the ability to stop the re-election of President Bola Tinubu.

Gov. Sule stated this on Friday when he paid courtesy visit on the National Chairman of the APC, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda at the Buhari House National Secretariat of the party.

He applauded the coming of Prof. Yilwatda, describing him as another Renewed Hope Agenda Chairman, who has come the right time because somebody like him is needed to assuage the people of North Central who have been agitating for the return of the chairmanship of the party to the zone.

Sule said he is convinced that with the achievements of President Tinubu, as it will rather be an easy ride for him to secure the confidence of Nigerians to vote for him again.

“We have never been worried about opposition, we have always been concerned about our strength and what we need to do in order to give back to the good people of Nigeria.

“And I think that is what Mr. President has always done, and that is why all of us governors are doing what we can do best in our various states, in order to support our administration, and we have to continue to do that.

“Personally, I don’t pay attention to what the other parties are doing, because I am more concerned about what my party is doing”,he stated.

Also, the governor equally dismissed the coalition, African Democratic Congress (ADC), saying even as he doesn’t know much about them, he only heard they only a splinter group from some opposition parties,  a development he argued makes them to be even weaker.

He also expressed his happiness that the level of insecurity has drastically reduced in Nasarawa state, adding that the fallout is that food insecurity has equally reduced because farmers have been able to go their farms in the past few years.

According to him: “So, Nasarawa state has been relatively peaceful. Our farmers have been able to go back to their farms in the past 3-4 years. You know our farmers have been having constant improvement in agriculture.

“That’s part of the motivation, in line with Mr. President’s Renewed Hope Agenda on agriculture and food security, that Nasarawa State decided to delve directly into agriculture itself.

“So, we acquired 10,000 hectares of land, last year we cultivated and harvested 2,000 hectares of rice, this year we added, we now cleared an additional 1,300 hectares.

“So I think the Minister wanted to come and see it for himself, and that is why the Minister came and the Minister had expressed his appreciation for us”.
