Nasarawa: Eggon nation announces preferred governorship candidate

The Eggon Cultural and Development Association (ECDA) of Nasarawa State has endorsed Mr Labaran Maku, the governorship candidate of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) as its choice for the March 9 elections.

Wilberforce Alaku, National President of ECDA, disclosed this to newsmen on Thursday at the palace of Aren Eggon in Nasarawa-Eggon Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.

Other candidates are: Emmanuel Ombugadu of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Abdullahi Agibi of Labour Party (LP) and Matthew Ombugaku of Rebuild Nigeria Party (RNP).

Maku and the trio are all Eggon sons contesting for the position.

“It is not my decision, but unanimous decision of the National Representative Council (NRC) of ECDA having received the report of a committee set up on the issue.

“We have set up a committee chaired by Professor Francis Akwash, a lecturer with Nasarawa State University, Keffi, and they have submitted their report which ECDA has endorsed,” he said.

Responding, Maku expressed gratitude to the ECDA for selecting him and promised to carry everybody along if he wins the race.

He called on other Nasarawa communities to join hands with him in ensuring success in the forthcoming election.
