The All Progressives Grand Alliance recently merged with a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party in Nasarawa State with a view to halt the re-election bid of Governor Abdullahi Sule of the All Progressives Congress, reportsRecords has it that the outcome of the 2019 presidential election marked the first time the Peoples Democratic Party was defeated in Nasarawa State in a presidential election since the return to democracy in 1999.
Similarly, the incumbent Governor Sule, who was the governorship candidate of the APC in 2019 general election polled 327,229 votes to defeat Dr. Emmanuel Ombugadu of the PDP, who had polled 184,281 votes. Therefore, the prevailing political structures established by Senator Al-Makura in the Nasarawa State chapter of the APC, paved the way for the party to win the 2019 election across board in the state.
Consequently, Maku maintained that the PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, would be given a block vote in Nasarawa State during the presidential election as a protest to bad governance exhibited by the ruling APC. “There is no electricity in Toto since 2015. But imagine wickedness that since Sule became governor of Nasarawa State, he collected not less than N300 million monthly as security vote but failed to rectify the issue.”
He said: “PDP established Nasarawa Broadcasting Service , the Lafia Township Stadium. PDP formed Nasarawa United FC. The state School of Nursing and the state Polytechnic. There is nothing in existence in Nasarawa State at the moment that was not a child brain of the PDP. “If you add APGA’s results with that of PDP, you will see that APC came at a far distance. So if you add those results now, it will be more than what it was in 2019. That is why in this election, we are not talking about how we will win, but on what margin,” Maku expressed confidence.
