2027: APC vows to deliver Adamawa for Tinubu, dismisses Atiku’s purpoted popularity

The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Adamawa State has flagged off its campaign on Thursday in Yola, vowing to deliver the state overwhelmingly for President Bola Tinubu.

Officials of the APC who spoke during the mega flag-off ceremony at the Mahmud Ribadu Square in Yola said now is not an Atiku era.

The state APC Chairman, Bello Hamza Madagali, asserted that Atiku and the other opposition presidential candidates will secure a combined two per cent of the votes in the state in 2027.

Dismissing a view that Atiku remains a highly respected Adamawa figure despite flying the flag of a party with little recognition in the state.

He warned APC leaders at the unit and ward levels against failing to deliver their polling units for Tinubu, the party’s governorship candidate, Tijjani Galadima, and other APC candidates.

Speaking in a similar vein, the leader of the APC in the state, Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, said if for nothing else, Tinubu has done enough for Nigeria and the state in particular to merit its votes in 2027.

Fintiri said Tinubu needs another four-year mandate to further strengthen the economy and improve the living conditions of Nigerians, adding that the APC is determined to win across all elective positions, from the presidential election down to the state House of Assembly elections.

The state APC governorship candidate, Ahmed Galadima, who was accompanied to the podium by candidates of the party, promised to move the state to higher heights.

Appreciating Governor Ahmadu Fintiri for ‘doing a good job’, Galadima said he would build on the governor’s legacy and achieve a greater state for all residents.
