He said, “I want to use this opportunity to inform you that so far, about 20 people are already in the race for the governorship of Nasarawa State.

“There is going to be a lot of alliances, a lot of forgiveness, and a lot of teamwork if we really want to move forward, because at the end of the day, only one person will get it.

“It is God Almighty who will select our next governor, not A.A. Sule.”

Governor Sule also used the occasion to express appreciation to President Bola Ahmed tinubu for what he described as the President’s consistent support for Nasarawa State.
