Former Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar Adamu, has reaffirmed his intention to contest the Nasarawa State governorship in 2027, despite the endorsement of Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada by Governor Abdullahi Sule.

Adamu also dismissed reports suggesting he plans to defect from the All Progressives Congress (APC), stressing that he remains fully committed to the party.
Speaking to his supporters, he described the governor’s endorsement of another aspirant as a personal choice, adding that it does not prevent other interested candidates from participating in the race.
“When someone endorses a candidate, that shows who he wants. He has the right to do that, but he does not have the right to decide the future of Nasarawa for everyone,” he said.
“People are saying I will change party because of this. That is not true. We are not going anywhere. We are in APC, and we will remain in APC.”
The former police chief stressed that he is fully prepared to contest and will stay in the race until the end.
“I will contest till the end, and by the grace of God, we will get victory,” he said.
“Go back and tell our supporters that we are strong and united. In about one month, we are going for the primaries,” he added.
Recall that Governor Sule had earlier endorsed Senator Wadada for the 2027 governorship race and has defended his stance.
In a statement on Sunday by the governor’s media aide, the government said the governor has done absolutely nothing wrong.
