Tensions Erupt at APC Rally in Nasarawa Over Gubernatorial Support
A brief moment of tension occurred at the APC Presidential campaign rally in Lafia, Nasarawa State, when supporters of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) gubernatorial candidate, former Inspector General of Police Mohammed Abubakar Adamu, reacted to chants from Governor Abdullahi Sule in support of APC candidate Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada. Governor Sule led a chant of “Wadada Gwamna” to promote Wadada, prompting Adamu's supporters to counter with “IG Gwamna.” This led to a clash of chants between the two groups.
Security personnel intervened to restore order, allowing the event to proceed. Adamu's supporters stated they attended to show support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election, despite backing Adamu for the governorship.
Governor Sule continued his address, urging votes for APC candidates. The rally was attended by Vice President Kashim Shettima, APC National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas (Rep, Zaria), and other key party leaders.
