Wadada, A Rising Name That Is About To Be Buried And Forgotten By Philemon Kuza

The Sarkin Yakin Keffi, Ahmed Aliyu Wadada, was one of the few who had enjoyed the privilege to serve the state under the People's Democratic Party (PDP). He contended for the senate seat with a two-term former Governor of Nasarawa State, Senator and now the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu, in 2015. The election was one of the hottest with Adamu winning with his regular rigging strategies. He polled 92,804 to defeat his closest opponent,  Wadada of then PDP who scored 88,214.

Wadada had left to join the APC and came Second during the primaries for Governorship race against Abdullahi A. Sule. The highest reward he got was an ovation and the Director-General of the Campaign for the APC. He currently boast as the man who made Buhari won the 2019 presidential election in the state. With that, everybody expected he would be rewarded with Ministerial position but he ended up with Peugeot Automobile Nigeria (PAN), a forgotten brand.

Today Adamu's seat is vacant but Wadada can only have appetite for it but may never touch it. This is because the permutations does not favour him at all. The candidate of the PDP in the 2019 election could not do close to what Wadada did in 2015. Wadada now is at the verge of been buried completely haven chosen to be in a party that obviously do not need him. We are glad key people are returning home with the family now becoming united than ever. One thing is certain now, the Prodigal son will either swallow his pride and return home alive or be dead politically, buried and forgotten.
