Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Nasarawa State seems to be experiencing an internal strife as a former Deputy Governor and ex-Minister, Senator Solomon Akku Ewuga, has declared his support for Governor Abdullahi Sule of the All Progressives Congress, APC.<\/p>\n

This development comes just ahead of the Supreme Court\u2019s judgment in the Nasarawa State governorship election dispute.<\/p>\n

Ewuga, while addressing journalists after a visit to the Government House on Friday, asserted that Governor Sule was legitimately re-elected by the people of Nasarawa State.<\/p>\n

He expressed confidence in the governor\u2019s ability to enhance governance in the state and clarified that his endorsement was prompted by a sense of duty to do what is right.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been out of circulation for a reason. But by any definition, man is a political animal. And so you never get removed totally from the process that engages people in politics. That is the scenario in Nasarawa State,\u201d Senator Ewuga remarked.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the first place, having public service experience, and exposure, I am always in a situation where I would say he was re-elected.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only thing is it\u2019s being challenged.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe judgment of the people has already stated what I will say. And I think that is what it is,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Senator Ewuga, drawing on his background and private sector experience, praised Governor Sule\u2019s capability to contribute significantly to governance in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeal with the person you have in front of you, and the person I am dealing with is Engineer Abdullahi Sule.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has had varied experience, private sector experience. These experiences impact on the way he conducts himself. And you see it. My own wish all the time is for him to be successful,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Regarding his anticipated return to the APC alongside his supporters, Senator Ewuga clarified that although he no longer harbors political ambitions, he is returning to the foundation he laid to see it through completion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am coming to the foundation we laid. If you are coming back to the foundation you laid, wouldn\u2019t you desire the building to be completed? I think it\u2019s only proper to do the right thing,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n
