From Abel Leonard, Lafia

Speculations of a rift between the immediate past Executive Governor of Nasarawa State, Sen. Umaru Tanko Al-Makura, and his successor, Engr. Abdullahi Sule, have been put to rest. Sen. Al-Makura addressed the rumors, dismissing them as the work of political jobbers seeking to create discord for their own gain.

During a private visit to the Nasarawa Governor’s Lodge in Abuja, Sen. Al-Makura spoke to journalists, emphasizing that the rumors were merely insinuations and tactics employed by desperate politicians. He stated.

“That’s the oil that fuels politics. If there are no speculations and insinuations, then we are not playing politics. There are people who are angling and strategizing to have a place in the political space, and the only opening they have is to create confusion, speculations, and all kinds of bad blood so that that would create an avenue for their participation.”

However, Sen. Al-Makura clarified that he and Governor Sule remain united and share a common vision for the prosperity of Nasarawa State. He explained, “Whatever you hear is rumor and remains a rumor, and that is the fuel that energizes politics. As far as I am concerned, we are working together as one united family that we wish Nasarawa State to be.”

Asserting his confidence in Governor Sule’s leadership, Sen. Al-Makura praised the current administration, stating that Nasarawa State is on the right track. He confidently predicted that over the next four years, the state would witness unprecedented growth and development under Governor Sule’s guidance
