Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has criticized the African Democratic Congress ADC over its assertion that the 2027 general election would be a contest between the All Progressives Congress APC and the Nigerian people.
Speaking during an interview on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television on Thursday, Sule argued that elections in Nigeria are driven by candidates rather than political parties.
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 maintained that voters across the country prioritize individual credibility, competence and performance over party affiliation when making electoral decisions.
