Top Adamawa APC figure rallies party faithful for Fintiri's welcome event

Abdulrahman Haske, a prominent chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Adamawa State, is urging all party members, loyalists, and key stakeholders to participate fully in the grand reception welcoming Governor Ahmadu Fintiri to the party, which is scheduled to take place at Mahmud Ribadu Square in Yola on Monday.

n

The event will feature an array of high-profile attendees, including Vice President Kassim Shetima, APC National Chairman Prof Nentawe Yilwatda, and APC National Secretary Dr Ajibola Basiru, as well as members of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, led by its Chairman, Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State.

n

Ministers and top party chieftains and government functionaries at the national and state levels are also expected to attend, according to a statement by Abdulgaffar Ahmed, Publicity Secretary for Abdulrahman Haske.

n

Abdulrahman Haske, who previously served as the party's chairman of the Youth Advisory Committee in last year's August 16 Adamawa State Assembly Constituency by-election in Ganye Local Government Area, emphasized the significance of the planned reception, stating that it heralds a new era of robust political consolidation for the party and the state.

n

He stressed the importance of having all party members and loyalists participate in giving the party the support it deserves and the governor a warm reception as the party leader in the state, highlighting the need for collective participation and solidarity to reinforce the party's strength.

n

Abdulrahman Haske encouraged party stakeholders, youths, women, and supporters across Adamawa State to come out in large numbers to warmly receive and support Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri during the APC reception in his honor.

n

He noted that such collective participation and solidarity will not only reinforce the party's strength but also further consolidate its position at both the subnational and national levels, contributing to the ongoing efforts to build a more inclusive, prosperous, and forward-looking state.

n

The planned reception is also seen as a crucial precursor to the state APC congress and the APC national convention, scheduled to take place at the Eagles Square in Abuja from March 27-28.

On February 27, 2025, Adamawa State witnessed a historic political alignment as Fintiri shifted his political structures from the Peoples Democratic Party to the APC, paving the way for the state to support and leverage President Bola Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda.

n

Following his defection from the PDP, Fintiri assured that the political alignment would enable Adamawa State to effectively support and leverage the Renewed Hope Agenda, which aims to transform the nation in critical sectors, including social welfare, infrastructure, housing, and inclusive economic development.
