By Yahaya Idris
Dr. Musa Muhammed Maikaya, a leading All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial aspirant in Nasarawa State for the 2027 election, has emerged as a unifying figure during this Yuletide season, urging ethnic harmony amid the state’s diverse political landscape.
Beyond the cutthroat arena of partisan politics, Maikaya commands widespread admiration from within and outside his constituents, who view him as a grassroots champion committed to their welfare.
In multiple public forums, Maikaya has repeatedly declared that “the people are his strength,” a mantra that underscores his people-centered approach to leadership.
Maikaya’s deep identification with Nasarawa’s grassroots communities sets him apart, fostering trust in a state where ethnic and regional loyalties often shape electoral outcomes.

His return home for the Christmas and prosperous 2026 new year celebrations has intensified these engagements, transforming the festive period into a platform for political mobilization. Since arriving in his country home in Toto Local Government Area, Maikaya has embarked on a relentless tour of community groups.
Youth and women organizations in Toto have been a primary focus, with the aspirant sharing visions of empowerment and economic revival tailored to the area’s burgeoning population.
Elderly citizens, revered as custodians of Nasarawa’s cultural heritage, have also received his personal visits, where he listened to their concerns on healthcare and other related needs.
As a frontrunner for the APC gubernatorial ticket, Maikaya is aggressively promoting his “Real Vision and Real Impact” manifesto to resonate with voters statewide. The vision emphasizes tangible deliverables in infrastructure, agriculture, and security sectors, critical to Nasarawa’s development.
Political analysts note that Maikaya’s unity message counters rising ethnic tensions, positioning him as a bridge-builder in a multi-ethnic state like Nasarawa.
