Former Inspector General of Police Mohammed Adamu Abubakar (Walin Lafia) is gaining momentum in the 2027 Nasarawa State governorship race under the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Endorsements from traditional rulers, political leaders, and community groups highlight his leadership and vision.

Alhaji Dahiru Abdullahi Othman, the Dangaladiman Lafia, praised Adamu as “the most qualified and level-headed candidate to succeed Governor Abdullahi Sule.” The Raba Gardama Group, led by Alhaji Mai Koli, and Hon. Musa Ali (Dan Sarari Keffi) also backed Adamu, citing his transformative potential. The Allied Group of Nasarawa Professionals (AGNP) pledged to mobilise one million votes, with State Director Husseini Gana urging the APC to select Adamu.

Adamu’s grassroots appeal was evident when he hosted the Nasarawa Tricycle Riders’ Association, whose Chairman, Comrade Abdullahi Gana Galadima, promised support. “I am answering the call of my people who believe I can serve and move Nasarawa forward,” Adamu said, promising an inclusive administration.

Supporters like Hassan Ogiri Doma donated a campaign vehicle, while Engr. Jafar Usman unveiled a billboard in Lafia. “This is my modest way of contributing to a greater cause,” Usman said.

Adamu’s visits to traditional rulers, including the Emir of Awe and Sangarin Shabu on May 19, 2025, underscore his commitment to unity and cultural collaboration.
