Governor Sule Faces Backlash Over Senate Bid After Breaking 2024 Pledge
Governor Abdullahi Sule has ignited outrage online after announcing his intention to run for the Nasarawa North Senate seat in 2027. Critics accuse him of betraying a clear promise made in 2024 that he would not seek any elective office after his two terms. In a 2024 television interview, Sule stated firmly that he had no plans to return to public office. Social media users now say his reversal deepens the trust deficit between leaders and citizens. Commentator Agada Abuh Theo argued that politicians treat their words as disposable. The ADC Vanguard lamented that public trust collapses when promises turn out to be mere campaign tools. Another user noted the Senate often becomes a “retirement ground” for outgoing governors. Many Nigerians are calling on all politicians to honour their commitments and restore integrity in public service ahead of the 2027 polls.
