Nasarawa PDP faces internal strife as Senator Ewuga throws weight behind Governor Sule

The Nasarawa State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is witnessing internal discord as former Deputy Governor and ex-Minister, Senator Solomon Akku Ewuga, declares his support for Governor Abdullahi Sule of the All Progressives Congress (APC). This development unfolds just ahead of the Supreme Court’s judgment in the Nasarawa State governorship election dispute.

Senator Ewuga, expressing his endorsement during a press conference after visiting the Government House, affirmed Governor Sule’s legitimate re-election by the people of Nasarawa State. He conveyed confidence in the governor’s capacity to enhance governance and clarified that his support stems from a sense of duty to do what is right.

Having been somewhat removed from political activities, Senator Ewuga emphasized that, as a political figure, he cannot be entirely detached from the political process. He acknowledged the challenge to Governor Sule’s re-election but stressed that the people’s judgment has already spoken.

Reflecting on Governor Sule’s qualifications, Senator Ewuga, drawing on his background and private sector experience, commended the governor’s ability to significantly contribute to governance in the state. He highlighted Governor Sule’s diverse experiences, particularly in the private sector, and expressed his wish for the governor’s success.

Addressing speculations about his return to the APC alongside his supporters, Senator Ewuga clarified that while he no longer harbors political ambitions, he intends to return to the foundation he laid to see it through completion. His focus is on doing what he deems right in the political landscape of Nasarawa State.
