Nasarawa state Governor, His Excellency Engineer Abdullahi A. Sule has observed with concern recent unsavory outbursts, bickerings, bitter exchanges and sometimes use of foul and unprintable language between supporters of prominent sons and political gladiators in the state following the outcome of the just concluded APC National Convention.
“This development is not only detestable but signifies retrogressive politicking; the kind that divides and retards progress” Governor Sule said.
He adds that “The outpour of emotions at such moments is understandable but must be tamed in order to ensure harmony, peaceful coexistence and growth of our party, the APC and the state in particular”.
He notes that Praiseworthy and instructive is that as politicians and devout Muslims, their Excellencies and Distinguished Senators Abdullahi Adamu and Umaru Tanko Almakura have since accepted the outcome of the election as the will of Allah.
It is on record that Senator Umaru Tanko Al-Makura has gone to the residence of Senator Abdullahi Adamu to congratulate him on his victory, promising to support him to achieve victory for the party in the forthcoming general elections in 2023.
In view of the foregoing therefore, Engr. Sule wishes to appeal for calm especially if we profess true love and support for these two elder statesmen; saying “we should emulate them by making peace instead of bitter rivalry which is an ill wind that blows no one any good”.
He advised that all must not forget that both senators Abdullahi Adamu and Tanko Al-Makura are illustrious sons of the state and highly respected Statesmen who preach and practice peaceful coexistence.
Governor Sule urges that citizens do everything within their powers to remain peaceful and avoid actions that will portray Nasarawa to the rest of the country as being unable to manage our victory.
In spite of the outcome all well meaning citizens share the belief that it is better that the National Chairmanship position still came to Nasarawa State; we should therefore be seen to be grateful to Allah for this and other blessings to our dear State.
The Nasarawa state Governor calls for sober reflection and restraint describing the development as a victory for all.
