THE Adamawa Progressive Elders Council has formally announced its endorsement of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for re-election in the 2027 general elections.
The decision was the centerpiece of a high-level meeting held today at the Muna Hotel in Yola, bringing together the most influential figures within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa State.
The Council, an APC support group established following the recommendations of the APC Reconciliation Committee, is dedicated to restoring unity and forging a formidable political front in the state. In a communique issued after the session, the group emphasized that its primary goal is to resolve all internal party disputes and ensure a resounding victory for President Tinubu and all APC candidates in the upcoming 2027 election cycle.
The high-powered gathering was attended by the Council’s leadership, including a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, former Governors, serving and former Ministers, and various legislative veterans. The meeting received a significant boost from a powerful goodwill message sent by the Leader of the Party in Adamawa State, delivered through the Honorable Minister of Livestock Development Alhaji Idi Mukhtar Maiha.
In addition to the presidential endorsement, the Council expressed deep gratitude to President Tinubu for appointing the State’s Party Leader to a sensitive and vital national position, as well as for several other key appointments of Adamawa indigenes. To honor these appointments, the Council resolved to organize a Grand Rally and Reception for all federal appointees as a formal gesture of appreciation to the President.
To ensure the party’s message and the Council’s conflict-resolution efforts reach the grassroots, the meeting resolved to cascade its activities to the local government and ward levels. This initiative aims to identify and settle community-level disputes before they escalate. Furthermore, the Council reaffirmed its commitment to integrity by maintaining its policy that any member wishing to contest for elective office must resign from the Council to ensure the body remains an impartial arbiter.
To streamline its operations, the Council announced the establishment of four strategic committees:
Contact and Mobilization Committee: Chaired by Chief Joel Hammanjoda Madaki.
Conflict Resolution Committee: Chaired by Prof. Tahir Mamman, SAN.
Finance and General Purpose Committee: Chaired by Mrs. Olvadi Bema Madayi.
Media and Publicity Committee: Chaired by Ahmad Sajoh, fnipr.
The communique concluded with a renewed pledge of absolute loyalty to the party leadership and a commitment to faithfully implement the newly designed operational timelines to secure the overall success of the APC in Adamawa State.
