As the 2027 general elections approach, political movements are gaining momentum across Nasarawa State, with politicians and aspirants strategizing for various political offices.
In the Toto/Nasarawa Federal Constituency, there is growing public demand for experienced and influential leaders to step up and represent the region in the House of Representatives.
In light of this, calls are mounting for Chief Yunana Iliya, the former state chairman of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), to contest the seat in the upcoming election.
Chief Iliya, a prominent figure in Nasarawa’s political landscape, is being urged by his supporters and constituents to bring his extensive political experience and leadership skills to the forefront.
He served as PDP state chairman during a critical period, gaining widespread recognition for his efforts in organizing and strengthening the party at the grassroots level.
Many constituents believe that his wealth of experience and deep understanding of local and national politics make him an ideal candidate to represent the constituency at the federal level.
His supporters argue that with his leadership, Toto/Nasarawa Federal Constituency would benefit from improved political representation, greater developmental attention, and enhanced socio-economic opportunities.
The pressure on Chief Yunana Iliya to contest is growing as more community leaders, youth groups, and political influencers continue to voice their support.
With political alignments already beginning to take shape, the region's voters are looking to place their faith in a candidate they believe has the vision, experience, and influence to advocate effectively for their needs on the national stage.
If Chief Iliya decides to enter the race, it could significantly shift the political dynamics of the constituency, setting the stage for an intense and competitive election.
For now, the people of Toto/Nasarawa eagerly await his response to their call for him to run in the 2027 elections.
