As preparations intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections, prominent retired security officers have declared interest in key political positions in Nasarawa State.
Leading the pack is former Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, who is seeking to contest the governorship under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Similarly, retired Army General Nuhu Angbazo has indicated his intention to vie for the same position under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), setting the stage for a possible high-stakes contest between two influential figures from security backgrounds.
In a related development, retired Deputy Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Ari Doma, is aiming to represent Nasarawa South Senatorial District in the Senate, further highlighting the growing involvement of ex-security personnel in the state's political landscape.
Their entries into the race are already generating significant discussions across political circles in the state, with analysts predicting that their wealth of experience and networks could reshape the dynamics of the 2027 elections in Nasarawa.
