Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule yesterday said he will not descend to the level of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) by promoting religious politics in a desperate bid to return to power at all costs.

He said PDP resorted to ethinic and religious politics as means of forcing its way back to power, adding that the opposition party’s divisive standing became manifest during the run up to the March 18 governorship election in the state.

He accused the main opposition party of a plot to elicit sympathy along religious lines to swell its political fortune in the state.

Reacting to media reports on petition by the Civil Liberties Organization (CLO), urging international community to impose visa ban on him over his comment on the recent spilt judgement of the governorship election petition tribunal in the state, the governor said he was not surprised by the apparent misrepresentation of his position.

In a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs, Mr. Peter Ahemba, he urged the general public to disregard the mischievous video being circulated on the matter to cause confusion.

“It has become a matter of serious concern, the promotion of religious politics by leaders and agents of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party in Nasarawa State. The opposition party now strive solely on falsehood and religion with the intent to elicit sympathy from unsuspecting members of the public and authorities.
