A governorship candidate in Adamawa State in the 2019 general elections Senator Abdulaziz Nyako has declared his intention to vie for the Senate seat next year.
Nyako, who was representing Adamawa Central Senatorial Zone at the National Assembly when he contested for the governorship position in 2019 and lost to the present governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, wants to return to the Senate.
Declaring his ambition yesterday in Yola, the state capital, Nyako said at the APC State Secretariat that he had concluded consultations that favoured a run for the Senate seat.
He said he looked forward to being a part of the Senate in the nearest future.
He said: “The next Senate will face a herculean task in view of the insecurity and other economic and social malaise. This calls for deep introspection by the delegates to elect the right people to stop the country from a further slide.
“Elect people of proven character and capacity from councillors to president so that the challenges facing the country could be faced with great chances of success,” he said.
Contesting under African Democratic Congress (ADC), he had lost to the present governor, Ahmadu Fintiri of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and to the governor at the time Jibrilla Bindow who was also the APC governorship candidate.
