Ewuga Backs Governor Sule, Mulls Return To APC

A former Minister of State for the  Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Senator Solomon Ewuga has said Governor Abdullahi Sule is doing well as chief executive of Nasarawa State.

Ewuga, also a former Senator representing Nasarawa North said what Governor Sule required at this point in time is the support of the people to enable him move the state on the path of developing and growth.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stalwart stated this while fielding questions from newsmen shortly after his visit to Governor Sule at the Government House in Lafia

He said the governor has been able to utilize his private sector experience and connection for the benefit of state and its people.

He said although he has been silent for a long time, he deemed it necessary at this point in time to come out of his political hiatus because of the need for him to do the right thing.

“I have been out of circulation for a reason. But by any definition, man is a political animal. And so you never get removed totally from the process that engages people in politics.  That is the scenario in Nasarawa State.

“I think the main issue is the case at the Supreme Court.  As long as anybody is open to questions arising to the legitimacy of his power, it creates anxiety.  I think that is the situation we have in Nasarawa State today.

“In the first place, having public service experience, and exposure, I am always in a situation where I would say he was reelected. The only thing is it’s being challenged.  The fact that that comes into play means that he is the Governor. The implication is the fact that he is a desired quantity in the administration of the state. The judgement of the people has already stated what I will say. And I think that is what it is.

“Deal with the person you have in front of you and the person I am dealing with is Engineer Abdullahi Sule. I didn’t know him that much. It’s his father that we knew because he used to visit my father. I got to know him later on. He has had varied experience, private sector experience.  He was in the Jos Steel Rolling Mills, he worked in the US and then he came back to work with an oil company before joining Dangote.

“These experience impacts on the way he conducts himself. And you see it. My own wish all the time is for him to be successful.  There is nothing as good as one ending your service to the acclaim of people and you yourself feeling that the acclaim is deserved. Once you live with those objectives in your mind you are happy with yourself. You have succeeded.,” he stated.
