“Open This Gate!” — Drama Erupts as APC Aspirant Pounds Deputy Governor’s Gate During Primaries in Nasarawa

What was supposed to be an APC House of Reps primary election in Nasarawa reportedly turned into a full-blown “hide and seek” competition after one of the aspirants, Hon. Usman Attah, allegedly spent the entire day chasing venues instead of delegates.

Hon. Attah, who contested for the APC ticket for Awe/Doma/Keana Federal Constituency, reportedly arrived at the APC Secretariat with her supporters ready for the primaries — only to meet a firmly locked gate waiting for her like a scene from a comedy skit.

After knocking, asking questions, and probably wondering if she came on the wrong date, she was allegedly informed that the primaries had suddenly relocated to the residence of the Nasarawa State Deputy Governor.

Determined not to miss the exercise, she and her supporters quickly moved to the new venue, only to discover that the second gate was also locked. At that point, what began as a political exercise reportedly started looking more like a treasure hunt.

Eyewitnesses claimed Hon. Attah made repeated efforts to gain entry, but all attempts failed. Frustrated and visibly angry, she reportedly resorted to banging the gate while raising alarm on social media, creating a dramatic scene that has since gone viral online.

Reports further alleged that some selected supporters had allegedly been lodged overnight at the Deputy Governor’s residence and were used for the primaries in favour of preferred candidates backed by powerful political figures in the state.

The incident has since sparked laughter, outrage, and endless jokes online, with many Nigerians sarcastically asking whether the APC primaries were an election or an invitation-only house party.

Meanwhile, Hon. Usman Attah is reportedly fighting to stop the release of the results and is demanding that the primaries be cancelled and conducted again under what she describes as a fair and transparent process.

I pity for none of them. They were there in 2023 when eligible voters were disenfranchised alongside massive rigging

Now they are victims of the kind of party they belong to

I hope Nigerians can firmly resist any moves to rig 2027 elections. If not it will be full rigging unleashed. They won't even hide it

APC drama in Nasarawa state is nothing short of funji house of commotion they are busy cooking results up and down and the truth is that almost all the governorship aspirants are not pulling weight including the governor himself who is vying for the Senate sit.

Very funny. I do not pity any politician because all of them are the same.

Take this politician for example, she is raising hell and creating dramatic scene on social media because she was sidelined, let her clinch the ticket and win the election, she will immediately turn to Colonel Hilary Clinton on her high horse and start looking down on Nigerians as monkeys until the next election cycle.

He didn't fight for the seat so he doesn't deserve it.

Dr. Dakuku Peterside has strongly condemned the current practice of "consensus candidacy" in Nigerian political party primaries, labeling it as "elite capture dressed in democratic clothing" and a "civilian coup" against democracy. Speaking in his weekly column and during a media appearance on ARISE News Prime Time, the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain warned that what parties market as "unity" is actually the forced imposition of candidates by an influential elite circle, governors, and godfathers.

Didn't they say he is a democrat? A builder of men? A visionary? That man is just a greedy old man. Who was it that said if you let Tinubu in, he will grab more than he can take? Think about being a landlord of Lagos and Rivers 🤡

The greedy can never be satisfied. What they condemned when they were in opposition, now they are doing it.

Those who wanted to rewrite his story just made me chuckle. Guy didn't want Fashola serve a second term simply because he wanted to be President. He didn't want anyone to have a record to be compared to him or outshine him. They are just lucky Fashola did not show craze like Ambode did, someone they eventually sent away under the guise of GAC. They now claimed that he made Fashola, he built Lagos, Ambode did not follow master plan. You see how their stories are not consistent. They then called Osinbajo a betrayer. These ones are lords and serfs. Those who refuse to learn history are doomed to repeat it

It is now clear that Buhari is more of a democrat than Tinubu who faked his own. Buhari demonstrated his own by not involving himself in the elections. He always said let the best person win.

The greed and selfishness of the Nigerian politicians will make anyone who has money to throw around look like a strategist.

The avarice nature of our politicians across the 36 states of the federation has made BAT a so call 'strategist'. Tinubu is only preying on their greed and selfishness.
