‘I was shocked Al-Makura lost senatorial election’ says Almakura
He spoke at the weekend in Lafia, during the ninth annual Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial lecture organised and the the Nasarawa State government.
Host Governor Abdullahi Sule, Simon Lalong (Plateau); Senators Tanko Al-Makura, Abdullahi Adamu and former Governors Murtala Nyaku (Adamawa) and Idris Abubakar (Kogi) were among the dignitaries who attended the event.
Aliyu, who is chairman of the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation, said Almakura as governor from 2011 to 2019, ‘opened up the state by building infrastructures which have stood the test of time’.
He said: “Al-Makura did well as governor, and so I was surprised when I heard he was defeated in the senatorial election, but I quickly remembered my case. He has already joined our group as former governors of Nigeria. Sometimes, God allow certain things to happen to protect us.”
