Nasarawa gov aspirant preaches peace ahead 2027 polls

Kindly share this story:

A former Executive Vice Chairman of the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure, Prof. Mohammad Sani Haruna, has called on political stakeholders in the state to sustain the existing peace among political parties ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Arewa PUNCH reports that Prof. Haruna, who is vying for the Nasarawa State governorship position in 2027, made the appeal during a meeting with stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress from the 14 electoral wards of Nassarawa Eggon Local Government Area of the state on Tuesday.

He also urged well-to-do individuals to always extend assistance to the less-privileged people in society in order to improve their livelihoods.

The APC governorship aspirant, while outlining his achievements when he served at NASENI, assured the party stakeholders that he would attract more development to the state if given the opportunity to serve in 2027.

He said, “I was able to distribute solar power, transformers, laboratory equipment,  boreholes, and various empowerment packages for the youths, including the payment of WAEC and NECO fees, while at the helm of affairs at NASENI.

“If God makes it possible for me to be at the helm of affairs in 2027 in the state, I will ensure judicious and optimal use of the state’s resources. I will also prioritise the power sector because, without electricity, many other things may not work as expected.

“Power is essential. If prioritised, it will help to create more jobs, boost businesses, and the standard of living of our people.”

While noting that the meeting was aimed at familiarising himself with the APC stakeholders in a bid to boost his chances in the forthcoming governorship election, Prof. Mohammed Haruna urged eligible voters to register for their Permanent Voter Cards at the Independent National Electoral Commission-designated centres in the state to enable them to elect credible leaders in 2027.

Prof. Haruna also said he would prioritise the mineral and agriculture sectors, among others, if given the opportunity to represent the party during the 2027 governorship election in the state.

The politician also pledged to prioritise skills acquisition in order to enable the unemployed youths and women to become self-reliant and for the overall development of the state.

The aspirant, therefore, solicited the support of the stakeholders and other people of the state to enable him to succeed in his governorship ambition.

He further advised his supporters to continue to embrace an issues-based campaign in the interest of peace and development of the state.

“We encourage you not to insult anybody but to continue to focus on issue-based campaign,” he advised.

Also speaking, the Chairman of APC in the Nassarawa Eggon LGA, Mathew Duniya, commended the former NASENI Executive Vice Chairman for his numerous efforts towards improving the livelihoods of less-privileged people in the state.

“I am happy that this meeting is for us to know you and for you also to know us. We pray for your success in the 2027 governorship ambition,” Duniya added.

Earlier, the Chairman of the APC Stakeholders Organising Committee, Suleiman Angbashim, said the event was also aimed at drumming up support for Prof. Haruna’s governorship ambition in 2027.

“This meeting is also to drum up more support for you to enable you to succeed in your 2027 governorship ambition. We will continue to pray and mobilise support for you to succeed,” he vowed.

Angbashim further commended Prof. Haruna for his good leadership style, especially when he served as Executive Vice Chairman, National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure.
