The Returning Officer of the APC National Assembly Primary Elections committee for Nasarawa State, Musa Guri, made the declaration on Wednesday in the Keffi Local Government Area of the state.
He noted that the primaries were peacefully conducted and transparently observed in all the local government areas, which included Keffi, Toto, Nasarawa, Kokona and Karu, adding that the candidate polled 98,614 votes through an affirmation process.
Guri appreciated Governor Abdullahi Sule for providing an enabling environment and giving the needed cooperation to the committee to discharge its duties without any interference during the APC national assembly primary elections in the state.
“The aspirant, Faisal Shuaib, polled a total of 98,614 votes through an affirmation process. Therefore, as the Returning Officer for the Nasarawa West Senatorial Primary Election of the APC, I hereby declare him as the winner of the primary election,” Guri said.
Speaking with newsmen shortly after the declaration, the Acting Director-General of DFS Campaign Movement, Yusuf Omaki, commended the western zone stakeholders for their continued confidence in Faisal Shuaib’s leadership qualities.
He expressed confidence that Shuaib will serve the zone well in the nation’s parliament if he is elected as Senator during the general election in 2027.
Omaki further acknowledged the importance of bringing all contenders during the primaries closer for reconciliation in order to chart a formidable cause before and during the general elections.
