APC primary: Gov Sule wins Nasarawa North senatorial ticket
Abdullahi Sule has emerged winner of the senatorial primary election of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Nasarawa North ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The result was announced by the returning officer for the exercise, Musa Shuaibu Guri, who said Sule secured 47,393 votes to clinch the party’s ticket.
According to the official figures released after the primary conducted on Monday, May 18, the Nasarawa governor defeated his challenger and former Deputy Governor, Silas Ali Agara, who polled 2,915 votes.
The outcome gives Sule the APC ticket for the Nasarawa North senatorial district ahead of the 2027 elections.
Guri described the exercise as peaceful, transparent and successful, commending party members and officials for what he termed a smooth electoral process across the senatorial district.
However, the outcome has continued to generate reactions in some quarters, with reports alleging irregularities and disruptions in parts of the district during the exercise.
Sources familiar with the process claimed that voting did not take place in several polling centres, alleging that some results were manipulated by individuals linked to government interests.
Despite the allegations, the APC electoral committee proceeded with the declaration of results, officially confirming Sule as the party’s candidate for the Nasarawa North senatorial seat in the 2027 elections
