I am pleased to welcome Hon. Chief Michael Emmanuel Ombugadu, FCNA, Sardauna Ezzen, as my running mate and the All Progressives Congress (APC) Deputy Governorship Candidate for Nasarawa State in the 2027 General Elections.
This is more than the unveiling of a running mate. It is the strengthening of a ticket built around competence, integrity, experience, inclusion and service to the people.
Chief Ombugadu brings to our ticket more than three decades of experience in administration, public finance and community service. From his professional beginnings at Ashaka Cement Plc, to his years at Isa Mustapha Agwai I Polytechnic, Lafia, and his distinguished service at the Nasarawa State Pension Bureau, where he rose to Director of Finance and Accounts, he has built a reputation for diligence, accountability and responsible stewardship.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Chief Ombugadu is a grassroots man. His political journey spans decades, marked by resilience, loyalty and commitment to his people. His decision to put party and collective interest above personal ambition during the recent political processes further demonstrates the character and maturity he brings to this 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.
Together, we are building a ticket that reflects the diversity of Nasarawa State and speaks to the aspirations of our people across the 13 Local Government Areas, 18 Development Areas and 147 wards.
Our message remains clear:
One Nasarawa. One people. One future.
We will run a campaign that unites rather than divides; that focuses on issues rather than sentiments; and that puts the development, security, prosperity and dignity of the people of Nasarawa State above every other consideration.
With Chief Michael Emmanuel Ombugadu by my side, we are even more prepared for the task ahead.
I congratulate my brother, Chief Michael Emmanuel Ombugadu, FCNA, Sardauna Ezzen, and welcome him to this journey.
The work begins.
In God We Trust!
