Mohammed Abubakar Adamu, formerly Chief Inspector General of Police (IGP) and candidate for Nasarawa State's governorship on the social Democratic party (SDP) ticket, announced on Tuesday his intention to prioritize the well-being of common citizens if elected governor in 2027. Adamu expressed gratitude for his support from the Alago ethnic group during a rally in Doma, stating that their endorsement boosts his confidence in winning the election.
He credited divine intervention and the Alago Support Group for his successes so far. Adamu vowed to focus on quality education, healthcare, and security if elected, emphasizing his commitment to improving the lives of ordinary people who have been neglected under the current administration. He warned against alleged vote-buying and collection of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) from women to deter them from voting.
The Alago Support Group, led by Danjuma Joseph, endorsed Adamu for the 2027 election, citing his proven integrity, impeccable track record, and uncommon patriotism. Joseph outlined the origins of the historic movement, highlighting Adamu's deep historical and blood affinity with the Alago people, as well as his shared educational background and maternal ties.
They emphasized their right to support any candidate of their choice, within the framework of Section 40 of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution, and pledged to mobilize their support across Alago electoral wards in Nasarawa State.
