Adamawa State Governor Rt. Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has pledged unwavering support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all All Progressives rCongress (APC) candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections, promising the party at least 85% of the state’s total votes.
Fintiri delivered this bold assurance during a high-profile visit to the APC National Secretariat in Abuja.
He was warmly received by National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, National Secretary Senator Ajibola Basiru, and key members of the National Working Committee (NWC).
The governor framed his trip as a “familiarisation tour” after rejoining the APC, insisting it’s not a defection but a homecoming to strengthen party unity.
“We do not call it defection because we formed the APC together in 2014. This is a homecoming,” he stated.
Governor Fintiri assured the party leadership that political structures across Adamawa State have aligned with the APC and are already mobilising vigorously ahead of 2027.
“We are working towards delivering 85 percent of the votes in Adamawa, and we will ensure that no other candidate secures up to 25 percent in the state. We are fully integrated, fully on ground, and working tirelessly to achieve this goal,” he said.
He disclosed that the party has already held its first stakeholders’ meeting in the state, describing it as the largest political gathering in recent times.
“We are used to winning elections, and we have brought that winning culture back to the party. Everyone is on board, and we will ensure that no one is left behind,” the governor added.
Describing himself as a grassroots mobiliser, Governor Fintiri pledged to lead an aggressive but strategic mobilisation drive to consolidate the party’s dominance in the state.
“Our commitment is clear - to ensure a massive victory for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all APC candidates in 2027. We are here, and we are here fully,” he affirmed.
In his response, the national chairman of the APC, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, warmly welcomed the governor, describing his return as a reunion with the political family he helped build.
“I welcome you back home. Your place remains here. You are returning to the house you built and the castle you helped to establish,” the chairman said.
Professor Yilwatda, according to a press release signed March 4, 2026 by his Special Adviser, Media and Communications Strategy, Abimbola Tooki, reiterated that the APC remains the only political party with a truly national outlook and broad acceptance across all regions of Nigeria.
“Our doors remain open. We welcome you wholeheartedly and assure you of full integration within the party structure,” Professor Yilwatda stated.
The national chairman further disclosed that the party’s membership register is up to date and ready for submission to INEC whenever required, underscoring the APC’s preparedness for future electoral processes.
He also assured that arrangements would be concluded to formally receive Governor Fintiri into the party ahead of the forthcoming national convention.
The visit signals strengthened unity within the APC and reinforces the party’s consolidation strategy in Adamawa State as preparations gather momentum for the 2027 general elections.
