When Dr. Aliyu Bello assumed office as Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nasarawa State two years ago, expectations were high.
Today, as the party prepares to celebrate his second anniversary in office, many agree that his leadership has lived up to the promise of inclusiveness, unity, and renewal.
Known for his calm but firm style, Dr. Bello has brought together diverse voices within the party, building bridges across political divides and fostering an environment where every member feels a sense of belonging.
From the state executive to the grassroots, his leadership has emphasized consultation, accessibility, and shared responsibility, qualities that have strengthened party cohesion at a time when unity is most needed.
Under his watch, APC Nasarawa has not only consolidated its structures across the 13 local government areas but has also re-energized its grassroots machinery.
Dr. Bello’s emphasis on internal democracy and fair representation has given younger party members and women greater visibility in party activities, reflecting his commitment to broad-based participation.
A defining aspect of his stewardship has been his focus on voter education and political mobilization.
The forthcoming flag-off of sensitization on the INEC Continuous Voter Registration (CVR),timed to coincide with his two-year anniversary, is widely seen as a practical step to deepen democratic participation in Nasarawa State.
Stakeholders describe him as a leader who combines intellectual depth with grassroots appeal. “Dr. Bello has shown that leadership is about service, listening, and carrying everyone along,” says a senior party chieftain.
“He has given APC in Nasarawa a new lease of life.”
The upcoming celebration, which will be chaired by former Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Timothy Anjide, and graced by the Deputy Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Akabe, is more than just a ceremony.
It is a recognition of the remarkable journey of a leader who has, in two short years, repositioned the APC in Nasarawa for greater relevance and success.
As the party looks to the future, Dr. Aliyu Bello’s legacy of inclusiveness and renewal is already shaping APC’s path in Nasarawa State, proof that leadership anchored on unity and participation can truly make a difference.
