The entry of former NASENI CEO Mohammad Haruna into the 2027 Nasarawa governorship race marks a significant shift in the political landscape of the state. Announcing his candidacy under the All Progressives Congress (APC), Haruna has pledged to focus on critical issues such as education and infrastructure development, which he believes are essential for the state’s progress.
Haruna's experience at NASENI, where he oversaw advancements in technology and innovation, positions him as a credible candidate capable of addressing the needs of Nasarawa's electorate. “Our people deserve a government that prioritizes their welfare and invests in the future,” Haruna stated, emphasizing a vision that aligns with the aspirations of many citizens.
As the political terrain heats up, Haruna's candidacy could galvanize support among youth and educational stakeholders, who are increasingly advocating for reforms. With the elections approaching, the focus will be on how effectively he can translate his leadership experience into a compelling campaign narrative that resonates with voters. The outcome of this race could reshape the governance approach in Nasarawa and set a precedent for future leadership in the region.
