Member representing Awe/Doma/Keana Constituency, Abubakar Hassan Nalaraba,has formally withdrawn from the Nasarawa State governorship contest.
He has opted to run for the Nasarawa South Senatorial seat under the All Progressives Congress, APC banner.
At a press conference in Lafia, Nalaraba said the decision followed wide consultations with party stakeholders, constituents and elders across the state, and was guided by “wisdom, political maturity and loyalty” to the APC and the collective interest of Nasarawa.
The House of Representatives member said he was aligning with Governor Abdullahi A. Sule’s endorsement of Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada as the party’s preferred governorship candidate.
“As a loyal party person, I align myself totally with the decision of His Excellency, the Executive Governor. I hold the unity and stability of the APC above my personal ambition,” he stated.

Nalaraba stressed that his withdrawal was not out of fear or lack of capacity, but a sacrifice to preserve the unity and progress of the party. “At critical moments of every political consideration, sacrifice and corporate interest of the state must prevail over personal ambition,” he said.
