Former IGP Adamu Threatens to Leave APC Over Nasarawa Primary Dispute
The former Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu Abubakar, has warned that he may quit the All Progressives Congress (APC) if justice is not served in his appeal concerning the outcome of the recent Nasarawa State governorship primary.
Abubakar, who believes he won the primary by a large margin, said the declaration of Wadada as the victor lacked the support of about 90 percent of APC members and stakeholders in the state due to alleged irregularities during the exercise.
He called on the party’s appeal committee and national leadership to reverse the result in his favour, expressing confidence that he will ultimately receive justice.
The ex‑police chief added that should the party leadership fail to correct the outcome, he will have no alternative but to join another political party to pursue his political ambition.
Abubakar reiterated his desire to rescue and reposition Nasarawa State, stating that with public backing he intends to contest and win the 2027 governorship election, whether under the APC banner or another party.
He urged his supporters to stay calm, peaceful, law‑abiding, and steadfast in their push for fairness and a better Nasarawa State.
He concluded, “If justice prevails, we will remain within the APC. However, if justice is denied, we will inform you of the next steps and the political platform under which we will contest the 2027 governorship race.”
