Senator Ahmed Wadada Aliyu (Sarkin Yakin Keffi), the distinguished senator representing the Western Senatorial Zone of Nasarawa State, has once again demonstrated visionary leadership and unmatched commitment to the welfare of his people. His latest achievement—a magnificent, fully furnished multi-million-naira masjid along the ever busy Keffi–Abuja Road—stands as a powerful testament to his dedication to promoting spiritual growth and community development.
The mosque, which now adorns the heart of Keffi with its imposing architectural beauty, is more than just a place of worship—it is a symbol of unity, peace, and religious devotion. Designed to serve Muslims from all walks of life, the edifice has already become a landmark that reflects excellence and humility in leadership.
This remarkable project will be officially commissioned on Friday, December 12, 2025, by none other than His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, the supreme leader of the Islamic faith in Nigeria. His presence alone underscores the significance of Senator Wadada’s contribution to the religious landscape of Nasarawa State.
The Governor of Nasarawa State, Engineer Abdullahi A. Sule, is expected to grace the event as the Special Guest of Honour. His attendance further highlights the importance of this project and the respect Senator Wadada commands across the state’s political and social circles.
As the Chief Host, the Emir of Keffi will welcome dignitaries, community leaders, and clerics from across Nigeria. This gathering of respected personalities will speak volumes about the senator’s influence and the unity he has fostered among leaders of diverse backgrounds.
Also expected at the commissioned ceremony to give a helping hands are prominent figures such as Alhaji Haliru Danyaya (Dan Gatan Keffi), Alhaji Umar Danyaya, the Dan Amanan Keffi; and Alhaji Salisu Atiku, Special Assistant to Senator Wadada. Their presence reinforces the broad support the senator enjoys.
Leaders of the Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa Iqamatus Sunnah (JIBWIS), including Sheikh Abdullahi Bala Lau, Sheikh Yahya Jingir, Sheikh Haruna Kabir Gombe and Professor Ahmed Kabir Adams, the Chief Imam of the National Mosque Abuja, are also expected. Their attendance is a strong endorsement of the senator’s efforts in promoting religious harmony and spiritual upliftment.
Residents of Keffi have expressed deep appreciation for the senator’s gesture. Alhaji Musa Dangana described the project as a milestone that showcases Senator Wadada as a leader who values religious tolerance and spiritual development. According to him, the senator has excelled in various areas, and this achievement is yet another feather in his cap.
Another community member, Alhaji Zakari Adamu, emphasized that Senator Wadada’s work across education, health, and social empowerment has made him stand out as one of the most impactful politicians in Nasarawa State. He noted that the senator’s generosity has touched countless lives and prayed that God elevates him to lead the state in 2027.
Beyond religion, Senator Wadada has consistently demonstrated a passion for broad-based development. In education, he has supported schools, provided learning materials, and ensured that children across the senatorial zone and indeed the entire Nasarawa State have improved access to quality education.
In the health sector, his interventions have brought relief to many communities. From supporting health facilities to sponsoring medical outreach programs, he has shown that leadership must prioritize the well-being of the people.
The senator has also made notable contributions to agriculture, supporting farmers with resources and encouragement to improve food production. His initiatives continue to strengthen local economies and enhance food security across Nasarawa State.
Recently, Senator Wadada further demonstrated his passion for sports development by supporting the Keffi Polo Ranch tournament, which attracted dignitaries including the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero. His involvement in sports promotion reflects his belief in youth engagement, recreation, and tourism development.
As Nasarawa State looks toward the future, many citizens believe that Senator Wadada possesses the character, vision, and leadership qualities needed to guide the state to greater heights. His achievements across religion, education, health, agriculture, and sports paint a clear picture of a leader prepared to serve at an even higher level. For many, 2027 presents a golden opportunity to entrust him with the mantle of governance—a chance to build a brighter, more united, and more prosperous Nasarawa State.
