Apparently, his declaration for Senate is not longer an open secret! but what about the governorship election that Christians and indigenous people of Nasarawa state are yearning for? Who will fill that space and vacuum? Don't you know a lot of his supporters particularly the indigenous people of Nasarawa state and Christians have invested their hope and trust in him as the last pathfinder to the actualization of their dreams? What Umbuguadu did is second to non as a traitor and some of us are still mourning that! It is a political suicide that he might never recover from the shocks when the chips are down! I am telling you emphatically that him being a threat to APC bigwigs in the state he might be swept under the carpet in the party and if the ballot box is open for the by election in respect to the senate sit Labaran Maku might be elected because people will say it is time for payback!
If he contest for governor under the PDP banner 100 times, he will lose 100 times. So, there is no sense in doing the same thing over and over again and still be getting the same result. He should align with APC and get the senate seat. From there, he can negotiate the governorship ticket.

I don't like this at all. This guy won the last governorship election but he was muscled out. He is now relegating himself to Senatorial contest, are Christians forbidden from governing Nasarawa state even when they are the majority?
Aliyu akwe doma was a xtian and he was gov for 4 years.

Nassarawa had always been a progressive state since the days of al makura with cpc then wrestling power from almighty pdp......it was obi's decisive politics of religion that caused the upset in 23 and that has been roundly taken care of come 27......Nassarawa is a goal for apc.....even atiku doesn't come anywhere close .
As far as presidential election is concerned, APC has only won Nasarawa once in 2019. Even that 2019 victory was basically because a lot of polling units were cancelled in Maraba which is the power house of Karu local government.

Stop dreaming please, how are christians more populated than Muslims in Doma and Lafia? You are clearly not living in the southern zone of Nasarawa.
runningriot:
What are you saying? What about Nasarawa Eggon, Doma and Lafia? And have you forgotten that all Muslim dominated local government are spacely populated? Bro Muslims are ruling Nasarawa state because of the Northern Power brokers who are electoral bandits! I am confidently telling you on one on one match with you guys it will be total pyrrhmic victory! Let Inec and Northern elites come out today and say we should have one man one vote it will be history before noon! Even in Nasarawa Eggon which is totally dominated by Eggons with 99% Umbuguadu lost Muslim dominated wards like Nasarawa Eggon central and Arigbadu's ward... Bro we know the political gimmicks Muslims only have the political and economic power they don't have the population!

What if apc fields a xtian in 27,would that appease you guys......politics is about strategy and interests,who says he cant come back to contest for gov after 27.

He has not but have you forgotten that it is better to be a king in hell than to be a servant in heaven? Secondly, this political escapade is a true definition of greed! Yes because as a result of Umbuguadu Nasarawa state has six house of Assembly members and more are coming out to vie for the sits in Nasarawa state by riding on his political popularity given he comes from the most popular religion and tribe in the state what about their ambition? Evidently, he won the last election but it was rubbed now that he is in APC do you think he will be giving the gubernatorial ticket as a New comer? It means his last bet will be Deputy Governor and it will mean he will fight those who fought for him in 2023 what the hec...!
His structure must have been considered and he sees the apc as the most viable option to achieve his aim.........buhari had to shift camp to become president,obi had to leave LP where he was king fir adc where he is an ordinary member,that man is a seasoned politician and he knows what he is doing.

Not lies I am not leaving in the Southern Zone but you people think that metro is the definition of population! Come to Akwanga you will think because the way Muslims dominate the metropolitan that is how the dominate the entire LG but the undiluted truth in reality is not so! what about the outskirts and remote villages that has more population than the town or metro?

He has come to realization that with Tinubu as president, he stands no chance of winning the election. Even if the masses votes him into power, he'll always lose at the supreme court. Tinubu has turned Nigeria politics into a one party system. Enemies will always remain enemies. Now Davmatics wants to contest for Senate leaving the incumbent governor handicapped when his tenure elapses

Why relegate yourself when you know you can prove your mettle once again ? He won that election but he was rigged out by the apc
He was one of the people that lost due to pdp and LP splitting vote in the middle belt.

Ombugadu has already declared interest in contesting for Senate. Since there is a vacancy in that district, they will give him an automatic ticket.

My brother please be careful with your words- you shouldn't have said "it's better to be a king in hell than a servant in heaven". Heaven is a place of reward with God's presence, hell is a place of torment. You can't even wish for anybody to go to hell. The "kingship" in hell is death. Everybody in hell has lost.

After all this noise, you capitulated to muslim rule while Umbugadu bends the knee to AA Sule as we can clearly see from the pictures. If all you claim is true, why is Tinubu not scheming to make Umbugado governor, instead of promising him a senate ticket? Everyone knows David is Wike's stooge and Wike have been funding all his previous elections. The only mistake APC is making is thinking a politician defecting against the people's will due to coercion or inducement will guarantee them victory at the polls. Time is a gentleman.

The most populous religion in Nasarawa State is Islam, that is why christian or traditionalist are yet to govern the state since its creation. Muslims in Nasarawa State are always producing two senators, 3 out if 5 house representatives seat, more than a dozen of the 24 member state assembly seat. The most popular and well-known politicians, business men, security men from Nasarawa State are majorly Muslims. So, stop misleading people of Christian and or Eggon tribe having 2 LGA out 13 as majority in Nasarawa State.

This is hilarious, ridiculous and above all fallacious! Boss! I still stand again with a loud voice that Christians and Eggon makes up the majority of the population of the state! Now let me put it in perspectives, do you know that your most populated LGA is Keana, Awe, Wamba, Keffi, Nasarawa and Toto...? Apparently, these afformentioned LGA are grossly spacely populated i.e meaning the population are less! Local Government like Karu Akwanga, Nasarawa Eggon, Doma, Lafia, Obi, and Kokona are Christian dominated... And only the population of Karu put together is bigger than Awe, Keana, and Wamba you might argue to console your illusion but you should stop the hallucination and delusion. To say Lafia and Doma is Muslim dominated even though the faith religion there is contestable because no clear discrepancies to show which faith is higher is not to be blame. Much so, the tantrum some of you throw around is that because you dominate the center of the town makes you most populated in the LGA please free yourself from that mental slavery! You guys only control the economy and political power.

Nasarawa has always been very dicey for APC. With this defection however, it’s now a one way traffic. APC will sweep Nasarawa in 2027. Welcome to APC Rt Hon. Davematics Ombugadu. If you can’t beat them, just join them. This is a very good move.
Update! Davematics have japada'd out of the APC after finding out he was carried handicap by the party. Will Nassarawa still be a one-way traffic? We are all learning politics together.
