As debates intensify over power rotation for the 2027 elections in Nasarawa State, Yahaya Idris Toto, a media personality and CEO of Global Times News, has called for equitable opportunities among the state’s federal constituencies.
In a statement shared on social media, Idris emphasized that the discussion goes beyond senatorial districts to ensure no area is perpetually excluded, fostering justice, inclusion, and sustainable development.
Nasarawa APC Adopts Consensus For Congresses As Sule Insists on Zoning
Nasarawa State comprises three senatorial districts with the following federal constituencies and governorship history:
Nasarawa North Senatorial District (Akwanga/Nasarawa Eggon/Wamba Federal Constituency): Represented by incumbent Governor Abdullahi Sule (2019–present, expected to end in 2027)
Nasarawa South Senatorial District comprise 5 LGAs, Lafia, Doma, Keana, Awe and Obi, with two federal constituencies): Late Akwe Doma from 2007 – 2011 and Senator Umaru Tanko Al-Makura served from 2011-2019
Nasarawa West Senatorial District wth 5 LGAs across two federal constituencies: Idris highlighted that while Nasarawa West (Keffi/Karu/Kokona federalconstituency) have produced Governor, under Senator AbdullahiAdamu’s era, the Nasarawa/Toto Federal Constituency in Nasarawa West remains unrepresented at that level.
He framed this as an opportunity for deliberate rotation to address gaps and promote unity. “The core issue is preventing any federal constituency from being sidelined indefinitely,” Idris stated.
“Nasarawa West, Nasarawa/Toto, deserves fair consideration alongside others to unlock potential across the state.”He appealed to Governor Abdullahi Sule, the state government, and APC leadership to prioritize wisdom and balance in zoning decisions, encouraging stakeholder dialogue for an inclusive 2027 process that strengthens democracy and cohesion.
