Fresh controversy has engulfed Hon. Ibrahim Abdullahi Sa’ad, the lawmaker representing Umaisha/Ugya Constituency in the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, over weighty allegations of a covert political alliance with the state’s Accountant-General, Musa Ahmed Mohammed, popularly known as Baraden Nasarawa, aimed at undermining the governorship ambition of Dr. Shuaib Faisal, and eventually stopped Toto’s agitation to govern the State.

Sources close to the matter, whose claims have been independently verified by our correspondent, reported the double-dealing by the legislator, who is accused of publicly professing loyalty to Faisal camp while secretly nurturing ties with the Accountant-General, a gubernatorial aspirant from Nasarawa LG, in what constituents see as a calculated betrayal amid the heated race for Nasarawa’s Government House.

The scandal has ignited fierce debates, with stakeholders expressing outrage over what they describe as the lawmaker’s gimmicks to manipulate ethnic and constituency dynamics ahead of 2027 elections.

Adding fuel to the fire, reports have emerged that one of Hon. Sa’ad’s daughters is officially engaged to marry the son of the Accountant-General, a development that insiders interpret as ironclad evidence of a deeper, familial-political pact designed to consolidate power blocs against Toto guber’s agitation.

Further details reveal that the Accountant-General personally sponsored Hon. Sa’ad’s wife and two daughters for a recent Umrah pilgrimage, known as the Lesser Hajj, to Saudi Arabia, a gesture that has raised eyebrows among constituents who view it as a lavish inducement to secure the lawmaker’s allegiance.

“This is no mere coincidence; it’s a strategic move to bind loyalties through marriage and pilgrimage perks, all while pretending to back Toto,” one source familiar with the family ties confided, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter.

The allegations have stirred consternation in Umaisha/Ugya, a constituency with a significant Egbira population, as political observers warn that such alliances could erode trust in representatives who appear to prioritize personal gains over community interests.

In a related development, fresh allegations have emerged against Hon. Ibrahim Abdullahi Sa’ad over an attempt to stir ethnic divisions within the Umaisha/Ugya axis of Toto LG. According to sources, the lawmaker reportedly travelled to Abuja for what was described as a clandestine meeting with Alhaji Adamu Angulu, a prominent Nupe figure from Umaisha.

The meeting, insiders claimed, centred on strategies to reshape the political dynamics of the area by sidelining the influential Egbira community in favour of another minority ethnic group.
However, the move was said to have been firmly rejected by Alhaji Angulu, who cautioned Sa’ad against pursuing divisive political agendas.

Alhaji Angulu warned that such actions could trigger instability not only in Umaisha but across the entire Toto Local Government Area.

The meeting, which was conducted in secrecy, was aimed at influencing existing power-sharing arrangements and weakening the dominance of the Egbira bloc in the area.

Observers noted that such a shift could also impact ongoing political agitations within Toto, which currently enjoy strong backing from the Egbira community.

A source familiar with the development noted that the lawmaker was “plotting to edge out the Egbiras through ethnic manoeuvres in a bid to install unfamiliar faces from minority groups into key political positions.” The source warned that such moves could undermine the fragile unity in the area and heighten tensions across the diverse communities in Umaisha and Toto.

Beyond the latest controversy trailing him, Sa’ad Ibrahim Abdullahi, who has pocketed millions of naira in constituency allowances, has no single capital project to his name. Instead, the lawmaker keeps parading a few bags of rice as his so-called interventions for supporters.

Meanwhile, the APC leadership and constituents have slammed the development as a mockery of legislative duties amid widespread expectations for tangible infrastructure in his constituency.

Constituents and observers have since raised alarms, demanding that the lawmaker come clean on his true affiliations to restore public confidence, especially as realignments intensify ahead of the next electoral showdown.

Efforts by our correspondent to elicit comments from Hon. Sa’ad, the Accountant-General, and Adamu Angulu, proved abortive as at press time, with their phones ringing out unanswered.

Political analysts, however, have called for a thorough investigation into the lawmaker’s excesses to expose what they term his “continued gimmicks” and prevent further division.

“Transparency is key in these trying times; Toto LG cannot afford leaders playing both sides,” one Abuja-based commentator noted.
