All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in Adamawa State, Abdulrahman Bashir Haske, has embarked on a statewide grassroots engagement and appreciation tour across the 21 Local Government Areas (LGAs), in a move aimed at strengthening citizen participation and aligning his political vision with community needs ahead of the 2027 elections.

The five-day strategic tour, which began on Monday, May 11, 2026, has already covered nine LGAs, with Haske reaffirming his commitment to inclusive governance, youth empowerment, agricultural development, educational advancement, and sustainable economic growth.

At each stop, the aspirant stressed that the voices and aspirations of the people would remain central to his leadership agenda.

The tour opened in the Southern Senatorial Zone with visits to Ganye, Toungo, Jada, and Mayo-Belwa LGAs, where he was received by traditional rulers, youth and women groups, party stakeholders, and large crowds of supporters.

On Tuesday, the engagement continued in Lamurde, Guyuk, Shelleng, Numan, and Demsa LGAs, where stakeholders described the visits as impactful, interactive, and development-focused. Consultative meetings were also held with royal fathers and community leaders to promote dialogue on peace, unity, and development.

As part of his outreach to traditional institutions, Haske paid a courtesy visit to the Gangwari Ganye, during which he presented utility vehicles as a gesture of respect and partnership.

He described his relationship with the Ganye chiefdom as long-standing and rooted in mutual trust and shared developmental aspirations.

In response, the Gangwari Ganye described Haske as “a son of the soil and a son of destiny,” offering prayers for wisdom and urging him to remain committed to grassroots engagement.

Across the visited communities, residents acknowledged Haske’s philanthropic activities, educational interventions, and humanitarian support, noting that his contributions predate his formal political ambition.

Several political stakeholders, including former Deputy Governor Martin Babale, former PDP State Chairman Abubakar Shehu, and Hon. Mansur Toungo, also expressed support for his aspiration, describing him as a leader with vision, administrative capacity, and political maturity.

The tour is expected to continue on Wednesday in Michika, Madagali, Mubi North, and Mubi South LGAs; Thursday in Maiha, Hong, Gombi, and Song LGAs; and conclude on Friday in Girei, Fufure, Yola North, and Yola South LGAs.

Haske expressed appreciation to all communities visited, reaffirming his belief that unity, peace, and collective effort remain essential to building a more prosperous Adamawa State.

He had earlier declared his intention to contest the 2027 governorship election on April 25, 2026, under the APC platform, and subsequently obtained his Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms on April 28, 2026.
