Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule yesterday said he will not descend to the level of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) by promoting religious politics
He said PDP resorted to ethinic and religious politics as means of forcing its way back to power, adding that the opposition party’s divisive standing became manifest during the run up to the March 18 governorship election in the state.
In a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs, Mr. Peter Ahemba, he urged the general public to disregard the mischievous video being circulated on the matter to cause confusion. “He further revealed how he averted what could have triggered needless controversy prior to the concluded 2023 general elections by declining the suggestion to him by some individuals to join issues with a respected Christian Cleric, who openly told members of his congregation to vote for only a Christian candidate to emerge as Governor of Nasarawa State.
“We condemn in the most strongest terms, the deliberate and mischievous twisting of the context and intent of the Governor’s comment on this sensitive matter in an edited video circulating on the social media by leaders and paid agents of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, who have been promoting religious politics in the desperation to return to power.
“Government is fully aware of the distractive strategies being adopted by the opposition party to use the outcome of the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal to further distract the Governor and slow down the pace of ongoing implementation of policies and programmes of the administration, even as such antics have continued to fail woefully.
