A frontline governorship aspirant under the platform of the African Democratic Congress, Jibril Sabo Keana, popularly known as JSK, has formally declared his intention to vie for the office of Governor of Nasarawa State in the 2027 general elections.
Arewa PUNCH Correspondent reports that during a pre-declaration address at the ADC Secretariat in the Keana Local Government Area of the state, the Wakilin Keana, Jibril Sabo Keana, formally presented his Letter of Interest to vie for the governorship seat of Nasarawa State in 2027—anchoring his vision on a bold promise: Development, Security and Progress – DSP.
Speaking before party leaders, elders, stakeholders and supporters, JSK declared that his ambition is not driven by personal power, but by a responsibility to restore confidence in leadership and reposition Nasarawa for inclusive and all round growth.
According to him, since its creation in 1996, Nasarawa State has remained a land of promise.
Yet, too many citizens are still waiting for the dividends of purposeful governance—security in their communities, quality education for their children, access to healthcare, economic opportunities for families, and unity beyond political and ethnic divides.
He explained that the people of the state are not demanding extraordinary promises but practical governance capable of restoring core values and improving their daily living conditions across all indices of life.
The aspirant who described his ambition as a “covenant of action and purpose” to change the development narrative of the state, thus, unveiled the JSK–DSP 2027 Project, an 8-point people-centered roadmap designed to deliver measurable transformation across the state:
Arewa PUNCH reports that the 8-point agenda includes: Intelligence-driven community security to protect lives and farms; Transparent governance and digital institutional reforms; Completion of strategic infrastructure like the Farin Ruwa Electricity Project and a statewide Ring Road connecting all local government of the state; Reconstruction of remodeled primary school infrastructure that further includes modest accommodation for teachers. Free primary and secondary education with global scholarships for exceptional and indigent students.
Others are the Establishment of a Produce Marketing Board to protect farmers from in-season loses of the value of their produce; Revitalisation of Primary Healthcare Centres in compliant to WHO standards; Create women millionaires through economic empowerment programs, contracting businesses and innovative business hubs; and Emplace a formal pathway through state Legislative processes for a law that enables State-Local Government-Traditional institution to interface in their functions and duties to breed social harmony and restore core traditional values to achieve peace and development.
JSK emphasised that his vision is about the “back to basics” of the ordinary people of Nasarawa State—the teacher, the farmer, the youth, and the elders whose hopes must shape the future of the state.
With confidence and conviction, he formally declared his intention to contest for the governorship under the ADC platform while calling on party faithful and the residents to unite behind his shared vision for progress.
“I, therefore seek your trust, your support and your mandate to build a Nasarawa State that works for everybody; and History will remember this moment as the time we, the people of Nasarawa State, chose courage over comfort and service over self,” he urged.
