The Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Nasarawa State rejects claims by the Nasarawa State Government that former Governor Tanko Al-Makura and retired Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Mohammed Abubakar Adamu were behind the disruption of an All Progressives Congress (APC) rally. Both outlets report the dispute centers on allegations tied to political figures linked to the SDP.
The context is a campaign-related incident in Lafia, where the APC rally disruption is being discussed publicly. SDP’s position, as described by the outlets, is that it did not sponsor the disruption and that the state government is making unfounded allegations. In response, the party points to what it says are faults in the state government’s claims and framing.
While the reporting agrees on the parties and the basic allegation-versus-denial dynamic, each outlet emphasizes slightly different elements: one focuses on the rejection of the state government’s linkage to Al-Makura and Adamu, while the other highlights the SDP’s denial regarding the governorship-candidate context and attributes responsibility for the dispute to the Nasarawa government.
