A former governor of Nasarawa State, Tanko Al-Makura, has publicly condemned the current governor, Abdullahi Sule, for endorsing Senator Aliyu Wadada as the preferred candidate for the 2027 Nasarawa State governorship election. Al-Makura stated in a video posted on the social media platform X that he was not consulted or included in any discussions regarding the endorsement. He expressed dissatisfaction over the lack of inclusion in what he described as a significant political decision affecting the state's leadership direction. Al-Makura, who served as governor from 2011 to 2019, did not specify which political party the endorsement pertains to, but the discussion centres on the ruling party's internal dynamics. The video has since sparked reactions across social media, with supporters of both Al-Makura and Sule engaging in heated debates online. Senator Aliyu Wadada has not issued a public statement in response to the controversy. Governor Sule has also not responded to Al-Makura's claims as of the latest update.
