By Suleiman Abubakar Rimi Uku
The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Nasarawa North Senatorial District bye-election, Danladi Halilu En-Vulanza Aliyu (DHE), has expressed optimism about emerging victorious in the election, citing his track record of service to humanity and the widespread support he enjoys across the zone.
Speaking with journalists shortly after monitoring the electoral process, Envulanza described the voter turnout as encouraging, impressive, and reflective of the confidence the electorate has in the APC and its candidate.
According to him, the APC remains a household name in Nasarawa State, while the election process has so far been peaceful and orderly.
Assessing the conduct of the election, the APC candidate commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for its efforts, despite minor logistical challenges encountered during the distribution of election materials.
“I commend INEC for the process they have put in place.
Materials arrived late yesterday, but they were successfully moved to the polling units this morning.
There have been no major complaints so far. I rate INEC 90 percent for its performance in this election,” he stated.
Envulanza said his confidence in winning the election stems from years of community service and humanitarian interventions that have positively impacted the lives of many residents across the senatorial district.
“This election is about my scorecard compared to those of other contestants. Throughout my life, I have been rendering services to humanity, and that speaks volumes.
We visited all the 35 wards in the senatorial district, and in every ward, people testified to the assistance and support I had given them in the past,” he said.
The APC flag bearer acknowledged reports of an isolated incident in Wakama but noted that security agencies had swiftly brought the situation under control.
Asked about reports from his supporters across the four local government areas of the district, Envulanza said feedback from Nasarawa Eggon, Akwanga, Wamba, and other areas indicated that the exercise was progressing smoothly and peacefully.
He called on voters and supporters to remain peaceful before, during, and after the election, emphasizing the need for harmony and respect for the democratic process.
“We are peace-loving people. From the reports and phone calls we have received across the district, everything has been going on smoothly and peacefully.
I urge everyone to maintain peace as the process continues,” he added.
The Nasarawa North Senatorial District bye-election is being closely monitored by stakeholders, with voters across the district expected to determine who will represent them in the Senate.
