Wadada: I Will Stay In APC And Contest Nasarawa Guber – Former IGP Adamu

Former Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar Adamu, has declared that he has no intention of dumping the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He also declared that he is not dumping his interest in the 2027 governorship race for Nasarawa State despite the endorsement of Senator Aliyu Wadada by Governor Abdullahi Sule as his preferred governorship candidate under the APC ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Addressing his supporters, Adamu urged them to disregard suggestions that he would dump the APC for another party due to Wadada’s endorsement.

He vowed to remain in the APC and contest to the end.

“Since Governor Sule endorsed Sen. Wadada for the Nasarawa 2027 governorship, people are saying I will change party. It’s a lie. I will stay in the APC and will contest till the end,” Adamu declared while addressing some of his supporters in Hausa language.

Naija News recalls that Governor Abdullahi Sule has presented Senator Aliyu Wadada to President Bola Tinubu as the Nasarawa State All Progressives Congress (APC) consensus governorship candidate for the 2027 election.

Governor Sule presented Senator Wadada to President Tinubu at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa.

Meanwhile, former Kano State Governor and Senator, Ibrahim Shekarau, has resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing what he described as a strategic political realignment.

Naija News reports that Shekarau’s resignation was conveyed in a letter dated April 19, 2026, addressed to the PDP Chairman of Giginyu Ward in Nassarawa Local Government Area of Kano State.

In the letter, the former governor stated that his decision to leave the party takes effect immediately.
