Nasarawa State House of Assembly Speaker Dr. Danladi Jatau is reported to have lost the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary held on Saturday, 16 May 2026. Multiple reports say Jatau, who represents Wamba, Akwanga and Nasarawa Eggon in the federal House of Representatives, fails to secure APC’s return ticket in the party’s House of Representatives primaries.
The same primaries also reportedly defeat two serving members of the House of Representatives. Hon. Jeremiah Umaru is named as losing in the APC primary for the Nasarawa/Toto federal constituency. Ali Abdul-Mumin Muhammad is also reported to lose his APC primary for a seat in the same cycle of nominations.
Both sources frame the outcomes as losses of APC return tickets for the affected office holders, indicating that other party candidates emerge from the primaries for the constituencies involved. No details on vote counts, replacement candidates, or the primaries’ full results are provided in the excerpts reviewed.
