Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State disclosed on Friday that he would rest from politics in 2027 after the end of his second term in office as governor.
The Nasarawa State governor said he had no ambition of running for Senate or the House of Representatives.
Sule ran for first term as the state governor on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress between 2019 and 2023.
Sule, who sought to run for another four-year tenure as governor of Nasarawa State in 2023 was met with stiff challenge from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, and its governorship candidate, David Ombugadu.
Ombugadu dragged Sule to court, challenging his 2023 election victory.
The Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal in Nasarawa State had sacked the governor and declared Ombugadu winner of the poll.
Unsatisfied with the judgment, Sule approached the appeal court where he was declared the winner of the election.
However, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun of the Supreme Court, on Friday, upheld the election of Sule as the governor of Nasarawa State.
In an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme, Sule noted that his major aim is to rule the state and not run for the Senate or House of Representatives.
Says the Nasarawa State governor, “I came in only to be a governor. I did not come in to be a chairman, a senator or a member of the House of Representatives. I don’t have any dreams for those offices.
“I have no dream of becoming even president. I have no dreams for that. I can tell you categorically that Abdullahi Sule would not go for Senate after leaving office. By the time I finish my eight years, I can do whatever I want to do.
“You can take it from me confidently that I have no intention to run for the office of a senator. You can keep this tape and play it one day.”
He added that he was expecting to win the Supreme Court judgment, saying that he could now get to work as the court case was over.
