Governor Ahmadu Fintiri on Thursday inaugurated the body to handle the collective campaign of all candidates of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state towards the 2027 general election.
Inaugurating the Adamawa APC Campaign Council in Yola, Fintiri warned against anti-party activities, including voting for candidates of any party other than the APC.
Addressing the crowd, mostly residents of Adamawa State who have since 1999 always voted for son of the soil, Atiku Abubakar, who is currently the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Fintiri asserted that whoever supports any candidate at any level other than those bearing APC tickets will face the consequences.
“We must close ranks and work as a family,” Fintiri told members of the campaign council who gathered at the Government House, Yola, adding, “All of us must win in our respective local government areas and wards before we can say that we have won.”
He charged them to ensure the victory of APC candidates “from top to bottom” rather than ignoring any APC candidate at any level doing cross-party voting to support candidate of any other party at whatever level.
“You either work with us or you are out,” the governor cautioned.
Speaking in a similar vein, the state chairman of the party, Hamza Bello Madagali, was particular that no presidential candidate outside President Bola Tinubu should get 25 percent vote in Adamawa State.
Madagali urged members of the cooncil to regard their inclusion in the council as a privilege and to work hard at getting APC candidates elected at all levels across the state.
The Adamawa State APC Campaign Council which has a membership of close to 3000, is headed by Governor Fintiri as chairman, with his deputy, Professor Kaletapwa Farauta, as deputy chairperson 1.
The state governorship candidate of the party, Alhaji Ahmed Tijani Galadima is deputy chairman 2, while the state party chairman Hamza Madagali is vice chairman 1, with Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Bathiya Wesley serving as vice chairman 2.
The APC governorship running mate, Adamu Kamale is in the council as vice chairman 3, while an aspirant towards the APC governorship primary, Abdulrazak Namdas, is vice chairman 4.
A top notch in the party, Solomon Titus, is the director general of the campaign.
Speaking on behalf of members during the inauguration, Solomon Titus assured that the council would be working assiduously to get candidates of the party elected in 2027.
The inauguration of the Adamawa APC Campaign Council on Thursday came two days after the inauguration of PBAT Door-to-Door Movement for the re–election of President Bola Tinubu in Adamawa State.
