The Social Democratic Party (SDP) governorship candidate in Nasarawa State, retired Inspector-General of Police, Muhammad Abubakar Adamu, has completed a welfare outreach across all 147 wards in the state. This initiative, part of his campaign ahead of the 2027 governorship election, focused on providing free medical care and empowerment to pregnant women. The outreach, conducted under the M.A. Adamu Medicare for Renewed Hope Agenda Free Medical Outreach Programme, aimed to support women who may struggle to afford basic materials required for childbirth.
The latest phase of the intervention took place in Lafia Local Government Area on September 19, 2026, covering the 13 wards in the local government. Approximately 100 pregnant women were selected in each ward to benefit from the programme, chosen randomly without consideration for political affiliation. Adamu stated that the programme was designed to provide support based on need rather than party membership. The initiative included the distribution of essential materials to pregnant women, highlighting Adamu's focus on grassroots engagement and support for vulnerable populations.
Adamu's welfare programme has been implemented in all 147 wards across Nasarawa State, with the Lafia event marking the completion of the statewide phase of the outreach. His wife, Hajiya Rukaiya Adamu, popularly known as Kwalliyan Lafia, was also present at the event. The programme reflects Adamu's commitment to addressing the needs of pregnant women and providing practical support to communities across the state. By targeting pregnant women, Adamu's initiative aims to reduce maternal health risks and promote well-being in Nasarawa State.
In addition to the welfare intervention, Adamu has strengthened his campaign structure ahead of the 2027 governorship election. The SDP candidate distributed motorcycles to ward coordinators to facilitate their movements and enable them to carry out their responsibilities within their respective wards. He also announced the provision of vehicles for the campaign's Director-General and other key directorates, including the women's wing, medical team, and operations unit.
The distribution of vehicles and motorcycles aims to support the campaign's activities as it expands its operations across the state. Adamu explained that the logistics were intended to enhance the campaign's mobility at ward level, particularly for coordinators expected to maintain contact with communities and oversee grassroots activities. This move demonstrates Adamu's focus on building a robust campaign infrastructure to engage with voters effectively.
