I know what happened that time and the type of politics that was played during the appointment.
Al makura,sultan of Sokoto,the former Senate president etc lobbies for his appointment.
Josiah josiak was the most experienced, the most competent and has the best record of service and also the DIG force operations.
He had experience in counter terrorism and once head the mopol unit. He was an excellent offcer who could have help curtail the challenges we are facing today.
It was a missed opportunity for Nigeria and we are paying the price today.

CorperKola:
There were rumours it was always the speaker that was favoured way way back
The guy is very crafty

dalongjnr:
e will win and this time,there's no turning back for a Christian governor in nasarawa state.
We are going to win this for a just Nigeria and Nigerian.
Christian has the highest population in nasarawa state, don't allow anyone to deceive you.
The Muslims position themselves for political dominance, that's it and that's all.
The former IGP took a place of plateau man, Mr Josiak habila just because buhari favours Muslims over Christians.
We know that most appointments in Nigeria since Buhari are based on religious sentiments.

fergie001:
He was clearly told before he defected. He thought, he could manoeuvre his way! Same thing with the Bauchi Governor, Bala declined.

Eriokanmi:
He's not a terrorist, don't mind them. It's all propaganda terrorists know themselves. Shettima can't even deny forming boko haram. It's not an allegation but a fact

chatinent:
Obi is a better human being to Tinubu in terms of governance.

But the fake pastor of doom has never criticized his paymasters.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Atleast he is not desperate to use a same faith ticket just to win elections

CorperKola:
Lol
Abdul rahman is a very cunning guy

Demurkelly:
He’s working for Wike and Tinubu. It’s an open secret in Nassarawa. His Eggon tribesmen are waiting to vote for BAT because of him. And don’t forget, they (Eggon) are the largest tribe in Nassarawa state. It’s going to be a very fierce fight to win the government house

WhizdomXX:
This man was the governor they never had.

SlavaUkraini:
Which of the PDP because they are not recognized by the courts. ?

Seeplusplus:
Angbazo, yes! (Nasarawa North)
Gaza, no! (Nasarawa West)

fergie001:
Abubakar came directly from the. Presidency.

fergie001:
He is very unserious.
He shocked everyone by heading to the APC to claim Senate when the Governor said he wasn't contesting, only to beat a volte-face less than 3 weeks later, back to the PDP.

He should go and rest. He is from the same Zone as the Governor, another Zone should take the ticket. He should go and meet his godfather Wike to give him appointment in the FCT.

wildernessVoice:
Meaning, we should expect another manipulation

fergie001:
He will lose to Wadada again.

fergie001:
He will win.
He is Ribadu's candidiate.
Fintiri will produce Deputy.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Nasarawa State has affirmed Dr. Emmanuel David Ombugadu as its gubernatorial candidate for the 2027 election.

The Chairman of the PDP Governorship Primary Election Committee in the state, Abdulmaleek Danga, said Ombugadu emerged through a consensus arrangement after party members selected him.

“I am only directed to affirm Dr. Emmanuel Ombugadu as the Nasarawa State 2027 PDP gubernatorial candidate, as party members have selected him through consensus,” Danga said.

He described the process as peaceful, free, fair, and credible, formally declaring Ombugadu as the party’s flagbearer at the conclusion of the exercise.

Speaking after the affirmation, Ombugadu thanked party members and delegates for elevating his status from an aspirant to a candidate through their unwavering support and endorsement.

“By your support, your endorsement, and this affirmation, you have converted our status to that of a candidate. I want to say thank you very much,” he said.

He noted that his emergence followed wide consultations with party elders and stakeholders, including the state working committee and the national leadership. According to him, these consultations produced a unified direction for the party in the state.

“If you permit me, we are going straight to work. I will start work immediately because we don’t have time,” he added.

Ombugadu used the occasion to introduce his 2023 running mate, Yahaya Ohinoyi, as his running mate for 2027, describing him as the “deputy governor-in-waiting.” He urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to take note of the nomination.

“If you permit me, may I, as part of my number one function, introduce the Deputy Governor for 2027. He is no other person than Yahaya Ohinoyi, who will become the Deputy Governor of Nasarawa State, supporting my candidacy come 2027 by the special grace of God,” he said.

The candidate announced that the party would soon commence a statewide tour of local government areas to launch a vigorous campaign aimed at winning the Government House on Shendam Road. He added that the party’s 2027 blueprint would build on the foundational frameworks laid out in their 2019 and 2023 manifestos.

“We have a comprehensive blueprint. It is an improvement on the 2019 and 2023 versions, tailored for 2027,” he said.

Ombugadu also announced that the PDP would fully participate in the upcoming by-election in the Nasarawa North Senatorial District, confirming that the party’s aspirants are working to harmonize their positions and present a single consensus candidate.

“In the next twenty-something days, we have a by-election in the Nasarawa North Senatorial District. Our party will participate and win,” he declared.

He thanked the INEC officials present and urged supporters to remain steadfast, stating that the party is firmly “on the ballot, and we will be, by the special grace of God, your governor come 2027.”

Ombugadu was the PDP governorship candidate in 2023 in a keenly contested race, the outcome of which was ultimately settled by the Supreme Court in favor of the incumbent, Abdullahi Sule.

fergie001:
That's not true.
No Court did that!

yaroyaro619:
Seriake Dickson is a wise man, he knows the Moles from APC and blocked them from getting NDC tickets.

What a wise man he is.

Dickson should be given national honors for a job well done.

No APC mole will be allowed in NDC

Gaabasky:
Kwankwaso is a politician and Obi is a trader.
Dickson, obi, and Kwankwaso they just want to scam Obidients especially with their donations.
