Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has reportedly been targeted in an attack after an object believed to be a shoe was thrown in his direction while he was delivering a speech at an All Progressives Congress, APC, rally in the state.
The incident occurred on Wednesday at Lafia Square during the party’s presidential campaign rally, which attracted Vice President Kashim Shettima, APC governors, party leaders, supporters and other prominent political figures.
A video of the incident, which has since circulated on social media, shows the moment an object, reportedly a shoe, was thrown towards the governor while he was addressing the gathering.
The incident appeared to interrupt the governor’s address and has since generated widespread reactions, particularly among social media users who have been commenting on the circumstances surrounding the action.
Some of the reactions gathered online suggest that the incident may be connected to dissatisfaction among some party supporters over political developments in Nasarawa State, particularly issues surrounding the APC’s preparations for the 2027 general elections.
Others expressed concerns over the political atmosphere in the state, with some commentators suggesting that the development could reflect growing disagreements within the ruling party.
The incident has also drawn attention to the political situation in Nasarawa ahead of the 2027 elections, as political actors continue to position themselves and seek support within their respective parties.
