The traditional rulers of Loko and Umaisha chiefdoms in Nasarawa State have canvassed support for the re-election of the state governor, Abdullahi Sule, ahead of the 2023 governorship election in the state.
The paramount rulers endorsed Governor Sule separately at their palaces in Loko and Umaisha towns when the governor paid a courtesy visit to them to receive royal blessings for the commencement of his second phase re-election campaign across the state.
In Loko, the Mai Loko, Umar Sabo, who appreciated Sule for restoring peace and security in the area, said the only way the people could return the favour was to vote massively for the governor during the forthcoming general election.

“The only way we can show our appreciation is to deliver mass votes for you. Before now, it was impossible to travel to Tunga and Nasarawa because of activities of the bandits.
“But today, you have restored back security. There is no reason why a citizen of Loko will not return this favour by voting for you,” the monarch said.
On his part, the Ohimege Opanda and Chairman of Toto Local Government Traditional Council of Chiefs, Usman Abdullahi, thanked Governor Sule for the good work he was doing for people of the state.
The traditional ruler, who spoke at his Umaisha Palace when he received Sule, said the governor deserved a second term in office considering his laudable achievements in the areas of peace and security, as well as infrastructural developments in Toto and the state at large.
Abdullahi, however, urged the people of the area to support the re-election bid of Governor Sule and the Speaker of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, Balarabe Abdullahi, in the forthcoming general election.
