Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has rejected claims by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) that the 2027 general election will pit the All Progressives Congress (APC) against the Nigerian people.
The governor spoke during an interview on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television, which was monitored on Thursday. He argued that elections in Nigeria focus on individuals rather than political parties.
Sule stated that the forthcoming poll should be viewed as a contest among candidates from different parties, not a battle between a party and the electorate.
According to him, “The 2027 election is about Bola Tinubu/Kashim Shettima on the platform of the APC against candidates from other parties.
“It is a wrong impression to say the election is about APC against Nigerians. For us here in Nasarawa State, we actually vote for candidates.
“The people of Nigeria are going to vote for the best candidates that they know and who can make an impact in their lives, whether it’s Governorship, Senatorial, House of Representatives, or House of Assembly elections. That is the way it is. That’s the way it has always been.”
The governor stressed that voters across the country make their choices based on performance, credibility, and the ability of candidates to improve their lives, rather than party labels alone. He maintained that this pattern has shaped Nigeria’s electoral process over the years and will continue to do so in 2027.
