Nasarawa State governor, Abdullahi Sule, has dismissed speculations that the alliance of opposition parties will end the dominance of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking on national television on Thursday, Gov Sule addressed various national issues, including the impact of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
He highlighted the positive impact of the incumbent government’s policies, citing consistent economic growth and improved production levels as key indicators of progress.
The governor also commended Tinubu for the successful rehabilitation of the Warri and Port Harcourt refineries, describing the development as a major achievement that deserves recognition and celebration.
Asked if the treatment given to the immediate past governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, by the current government could spell doom for the re-election of Tinubu in 2027, the governor said: “To be honest with you, el-Rufai has not left our party. And it is really very early to be talking about 2027.
“We have just done one year and a lot still need to be done. So, it is too early to start making such permutations that this one is leaving and the house is collapsing.”

Asked if he was worried over the gathering of political gladiators from different political parties, Sule said: “As for me, I am not scared.
“For your information here in Nasarawa State, we have had elections in 2019 where I ran against two very powerful candidates – a former minister Labaran Maku and a former member of the House of Representatives.
“In 2023, both merged with others. But, here I’m sitting as the governor.
“With all due respect to all the politicians holding several meetings, I do not see them displacing our party.
“What we are going to do in the next two years will determine where the pendulum will swing, and I strongly believe that we are going to perform wonderfully in the next two years.
“And once we are able to do that, I don’t think the party needs to care about any merger of political parties.
“The performance of the party won’t be judged alone based on the Federal Government, but the states, and local governments.
“If you go look at the performances by our governors, I say there’s nothing to worry about.”
