Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Adamu, has announced the end of his time in active politics.
Adamu, 77, disclosed this on Saturday at the presentation and launching of a book titled, ‘Progressive governance: Showcasing the achievements of His Excellency, Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State 2019 – 2023’
The ex-governor said he noticed that he had started developing allergies for political activities.
Speaking on the content of the book, which has 230 pages and a total of 23 chapters, the former APC national chairman, who was the first civilian governor of Nasarawa, commended the author for his efforts in writing out all the achievements of the governor since he was elected into office.
While noting that the incumbent governor had consolidated the achievements of his predecessors and improved on them, Adamu urged the residents of the state to continue to support and pray for the governor and his cabinet members in order for them to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people.
Adamu said, “I am not only a retiree but I am out of politics. I’m beginning to develop little allergies for political activities now and political speeches.

“So, forgive me, I will not make any political statements beyond asking for further and more support for the governor of the state.
“He needs all your prayers and goodwill to be able to succeed. So, to encourage the author for his good work, I will launch 20 copies of the book for N1 million naira.”
On his part, the Senator representing Nasarawa West Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Aliyu Wadada, lauded the governor for attracting investors like Dangote, Flour Mill, Asma Rice, among other companies to the state.
In his speech, Governor Sule commended the author for recognising his efforts towards developing the state and making it viable for investors.
Earlier, the author of the book, who is physically challenged, said he was motivated to write the book because of the leadership style of the governor who believes in inclusivity.
