Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has terminated the appointment of his Senior Special Adviser on Works, Ahmed Seriki, due to non-compliance with directives against premature campaigning for the 2027 elections. This decision was disclosed by Peter Ahemba, Senior Special Adviser to Governor Sule on Public Affairs, during a monthly briefing at the Nigeria Union of Journalists Centre in Lafia.

According to Ahemba, Governor Sule had issued repeated warnings to his appointees against engaging in early campaigns, but Seriki allegedly disregarded these warnings. Seriki’s dismissal is reportedly linked to his open support for former Inspector General of Police Mohammed Abubakar, who has expressed interest in contesting the governorship seat in 2027.

In a separate development, Governor Sule has reaffirmed his commitment to completing the Karu flyovers and underpass project before the end of his tenure in 2027. The state government has secured approval from the Federal Government to construct two flyovers and an underpass in Mararaba, Karu Local Government Area. This project aims to provide a lasting solution to traffic challenges along the Karu-Mararaba corridor, enhancing road quality and durability.

The construction of the flyovers and underpass is expected to ease movement for residents, motorists, and travelers, and is part of the government’s efforts to address infrastructure needs in the state. With the project’s approval, the state government is poised to improve the overall transportation network in the region, promoting economic growth and development.

The dismissal of Seriki and the announcement of the Karu flyovers project highlight Governor Sule’s focus on governance and development in Nasarawa State. As the 2027 elections approach, the governor’s actions demonstrate his commitment to maintaining stability and continuity in the state’s administration. The completion of the Karu flyovers project is expected to have a positive impact on the state’s infrastructure, and its success will be closely monitored by residents and stakeholders.
