Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa state, has urged political leaders in the Northern Senatorial Zone to put personal interests aside and support candidates based on character, competence and commitment to the development of the people.

 

Fintiri made the call when he received political stakeholders and supporters from the Northern Senatorial Zone at the Government House in Yola.

 

The delegation visited the Governor to express appreciation following the selection of Adamu Kamale as the APC Deputy Governorship candidate to Ahmed Tijjani Galadima for the 2027 elections.

 

The governor urged stakeholders and residents of the zone to remain united, stressing that their collective strength would be crucial in determining the political future of Northern Adamawa.

 

He also directed political stakeholders to return to their respective communities and commence early mobilisation across wards and polling units ahead of the 2027 general elections.

 

Fintiri called on leaders to avoid actions capable of causing division, urging them to work together to attract greater development and political representation to the zone.

 

According to him, Northern Adamawa has a long history of political participation and democratic engagement, which should be sustained through support for policies and candidates committed to development, unity and good governance.

 

The governor also commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he described as policies that had helped states and local governments manage their financial challenges.

 

Fintiri expressed confidence that the Northern Senatorial Zone would play a significant role in the 2027 elections and urged stakeholders to remain committed to the APC.

 

Earlier, leaders of the delegation, including Bubakari Kamale and Ambassador Kelvin Peter, who spoke on behalf of the people of Madagali and Michika, as well as Musa Isa Konkol from Maiha, thanked the governor for choosing Adamu Kamale as the deputy governorship candidate.

 

They described Kamale as an experienced and trusted political leader capable of contributing to the development of Northern Adamawa and the state at large.

 

Konkol said the people of Maiha were pleased with the choice and pledged their support for the APC ahead of the 2027 elections.

 

The delegation further appealed to the incoming administration to sustain and build on the achievements of Governor Fintiri in order to promote the continued development and wellbeing of the people of Adamawa State.
