“Agara is our trusted candidate to run for Governor of Nasarawa State in the 2027 general election in order to lead Nasarawa to the promised land,” the group stated.

They highlighted Agara’s outstanding performance when he was the deputy governor of the State and now the Director-General of NDE, saying the youths of the State believe that Dr Agara is the ideal candidate to occupy the Governorship seat in 2027 due to his impressive credentials in governance, leadership, and community service.
“As a pragmatic leader who has served Nasarawa State and Nigeria since 2003, Agara possesses the necessary qualities to lead the state to greater heights.
“As a role model for the youth constituency in Nasarawa State, Dr. Silas Agara has championed remarkable youth empowerment initiatives, placing many young people in leadership positions, providing economic empowerment, and facilitating higher educational attainment.
“Agara has proven track records of effective leadership and the ability to inspire and mobilize people.
“His experience in public service, politics, and sports has equipped him with the requisite skills, experience, and knowledge to lead the people of Nasarawa effectively. Agara’s clear and compelling vision for the development and progress of Nasarawa State resonates with many of its citizens.
“Considering his pedigree and positive hard work towards the actualisation of the principles and objectives of the President Tinubu Renewed Hope Journey, Dr Agara has remained focused on the four major areas of intervention in his current position as Director-General of the NDE, which include vocational development, entrepreneurship development, and agricultural skills training,” youth stated.
According to them, his commitment to integrity and transparency inspires trust and confidence, adding the coalition believes he has the potential to lead Nasarawa to greater heights and strengthen the party’s presence in the state.
