Ex-NPHCDA Boss Shuaib Backs Wadada for Nasarawa Guber

Faisal Shuaib, the former Executive Director of the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), announced his withdrawal from the 2027 Nasarawa State governorship race during a press conference held in Lafia. This decision, made on a Monday, follows extensive consultations with stakeholders across the state.

Shuaib expressed his commitment to support whoever is chosen as the preferred candidate, emphasizing the importance of integrity and dedication in public service. He formally declared his support for Senator Ahmadu Aliyu Wadada, who is backed by the current Governor Abdullahi Sule.

Shuaib pledged to mobilize political structures to support the governor's choice and urged party unity. His withdrawal was met with visible disappointment among supporters, marking a significant shift in the political landscape of Nasarawa State as the 2027 elections approach.
