Nasarawa State Governor, Engr Abdullahi Sule said Barrister Labaran Magaji, a senatorial aspirant possesses the qualities to take over the national chairman’s seat at the Senate.
He noted that his experience and education has adequately prepared him for leadership.
Governor Sule made this disclosure yesterday in Lafia when he hosted the Barrister Labaran Magaji for Senate 2023 campaign team, at the Government House.
According to the governor, with his experience and education, there is nothing wrong if Barrister Labaran Magaji came out to vie for the senate seat.
“I want to sincerely commend you for what you are doing. Without any ambiguity, your level of experience and education have prepared you for positions even higher than this.
“There is nothing wrong with you coming forward and saying you want to go for this position,” Engineer Sule said.
He particularly commended Barrister Magaji, who doubles as the Matawallen Toto, for disclosing that he only chose to throw his hat into the ring after a vacancy was created following the elevation of Senator Abdullahi Adamu to the position of national chairman of the APC.
“Everyone knows that Abdullahi Adamu is actually our political father in this state. So when you mentioned that you have made up your mind not to contest against him, I think that is a very strong political statement. And I commend you. And I am sure he will remember that,” he stated.
Earlier in a remark, Barrister Labaran Magaji said he was at the Government House alongside his campaign team, to declare his intention to contest for the Nasarawa West senatorial ticket, as well as to seek the blessings of the governor.
Barrister Magaji reiterated that he was motivated to join the race because of the vacancy created following the emergence of Senator Abdullahi Adamu as the national chairman of the APC.
In an opening remarks, Director General of the Barrister Labaran Magaji for Senate Campaign Organisation, Hon. Yusuf Loko, introduced the aspirant as a man that has the capacity and wherewithal to pick the party’s ticket for the Nasarawa West senatorial district.
