The ongoing campaign by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Nasarawa State took a new dimension on Wednesday in Akwanga Local Government Area, as residents openly called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to support the party’s governorship candidate, Rt.

The residents also pledged to deliver their block votes to President Bola Tinubu in 2027, assuring the party of their determination to work for the president’s re-election.

Speaking during an oath-taking ceremony at Ombugadu’s campaign rally in Akwanga, the residents said their decision to vote for Tinubu and Ombugadu in the 2027 presidential and governorship elections was based on some of President Tinubu’s friendly policies and the genuine leadership qualities, commitment and dedication of Emmanuel Ombugadu to the development of the state.

“We are calling on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to deliver our sole candidate, Rt. Hon. Emmanuel David Ombugadu of the PDP, and we will, in return, work to deliver Nasarawa State to the APC presidential candidate, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in 2027.

“We have today resolved to deliver our block votes to President Bola Tinubu in 2027 if our candidate is elected as the governor of the state,” they said.

Addressing the mammoth crowd, the PDP governorship candidate, Rt. Hon. Emmanuel David Ombugadu, called on residents of the state to ensure they were armed with their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and prepared to defend their votes to vote out bad governance in Nasarawa State.

Ombugadu, who promised to address the decay in education, poor road networks, insecurity, unemployment, hunger and poverty, also assured that the solid mineral resources abundant in the state would be harnessed for the benefit of the people.

He further assured that governance would be inclusive, employment opportunities would be created for youths, and infrastructure development would receive significant attention for the benefit of the people if elected governor in 2027.
