A formidable lineup of 13 prominent individuals, including a former Inspector-General of Police, a serving senator, and a retired army general, have already begun positioning themselves for the 2027 Nasarawa State governorship election. The early declaration of interest by such high-profile figures signals an intensely competitive race in the North Central state, more than a year before the polls.
Among the notable aspirants are Mohammed Adamu, who previously served as Inspector-General of Police, vying under the Social Democratic Party (SDP) banner, and Senator Aliyu Wadada, a sitting lawmaker representing Nasarawa West Senatorial District, who is reportedly preparing for the contest on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Their early interest highlights the high stakes associated with governing Nasarawa State.
