The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Nasarawa State, Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada, has announced Chief Michael Emmanuel Ombugadu as his running mate for the 2027 governorship election.
Wadada announced the decision in a statement issued on Monday, saying Ombugadu’s selection was aimed at strengthening the party’s ticket ahead of the election.
According to him, Ombugadu brings over three decades of experience in administration, public finance, community service, academia and the private sector.
Wadada said his running mate began his professional career at Ashaka Cement Plc before working at Isa Mustapha Agwai I Polytechnic, Lafia, and later joining the Nasarawa State Pension Bureau, where he rose to become Director of Finance and Accounts.
He described Ombugadu’s professional career as one marked by diligence, accountability and commitment to public service.
The APC candidate also described him as a grassroots politician whose political journey has been defined by resilience, loyalty and dedication to his constituents.
Wadada noted that Ombugadu’s decision to prioritise the interests of the APC and the collective interest of Nasarawa State over personal ambition during recent political developments demonstrated the qualities he would bring to the joint ticket.
“Beyond the positions he has held, I value the man: his humility, his loyalty, his understanding of our people and his commitment to service,” Wadada said.
He added that the joint ticket reflects the diversity of Nasarawa State and the interests of its people across the 13 Local Government Areas, 18 Development Areas and 147 electoral wards.
Wadada reiterated his campaign theme, “One Nasarawa. One People. One Future,” and pledged to run an issue-based campaign focused on unity and development.
“We will run a campaign that unites rather than divides; that focuses on issues rather than sentiments; and that places the development, security, prosperity and dignity of the people of Nasarawa State above every other consideration,” he said.
Wadada congratulated Ombugadu on his selection and expressed confidence in the APC ticket ahead of the 2027 Nasarawa State g
overnorship election.
