Nasko pledged his support for Nami when the PDP Governorship Candidate paid him a courtesy visit at the elder statesman’s Abuja home.

The visit by Nami was part of his ongoing dialogue with the people and leaders of Niger State to listen to them and seek their advice and guidance for a shared vision of restoring Niger State to its leadership position in the North and in Nigeria as a whole.

Umar Nasko is widely respected as one of the most experienced political figures in Niger State, having contested the governorship in 2015 and 2019.

In his remarks during the visit, Mallam Nami described Nasko as a man of integrity and an encyclopedia whose wealth of experience was invaluable in the forthcoming governorship election in Niger State to rescue it from its current retrogression.

Nasko assured the PDP governorship candidate of his support in the governorship contest, pledging to continue sharing words of advice with the PDP gubernatorial candidate and to keep Nami in his prayers always.
