But for the fact that Governor Adamu was still mourning the loss of his dear mother, the Keffi country home of the Governor would have been thrown into a celebration. But even at that, emotions for most of his supporters could not be held back as they insisted on Governor Adamu coming out to celebrate the sweet victory with them.

And in a rare show of statesmanship, Governor Adamu for a few moments came out to rejoice with the tens of thousands of people who had gathered at his courtyards to thank them for the support and encouragement. When the crowds saw him, they all jumped up in jubilation and prayed that God will grant the PDP the victory in the gubernatorial elections coming up early in the New Year.

The primary elections which were held at the Federal Polytechnic campus in Nasarawa town were conducted by an electoral panel sent from the National headquarters of the party and was headed by Alhaji Saka Balogun, a frontline politician in Nigeria. The elections, which saw Governor Adamu coming tops, were held peacefully without any rancour. With this victory, Governor Adamu is now set to bear the flag of the PDP against other contestants for the Nasarawa Governorship elections, which if he wins, will give him a second tenure of four years.
