Former Nasarawa State Governor, Umaru Tanko Al-Makura, has declared his full support for the governorship ambition of a former Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu.
Al-Makura made this announcement on Sunday at the Emir’s Palace in Lafia, the state capital, during the grand finale of consultative visits to various traditional rulers’ palaces in the state by the campaign council of the ex-IGP.
He said that he decided to support Adamu because, among other aspirants, he possesses the leadership skills to govern Nasarawa State and ensure its.
The former governor added that the grand finale of the traditional visits was held at the Lafia Palace because it is the base of the ex-IGP, Adamu, as a son and indigene of the local government area.
“It is not a courtesy; it is an obligation for the son, after having seen virtually every leader, every emirate, every chief, every royalty, to come back home as the grand finale to brief his father about the successes and gains he has had in the entire campaign, especially now that it remains just about three days before the governorship primaries of the All Progressives Congress.
“The visit is to seek royal blessings, royal guidance and royal support from his father and father of the land. Therefore, we are before you today in the congregation of supporters and admirers of IGP Adamu, to pay what I call a special courtesy, different from all other courtesies paid in various palaces,” he said.
