Against widespread allegations of imposition of candidates in the primary elections of the Adamawa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has warned members against anti-party activities.
Fintiri spoke on Thursday, barely a week after the primary elections for governorship, senatorial, House of Representatives and state House of Assembly slots, in which leaders of the party were widely perceived to have imposed their preferred aspirants, causing disenchantment among those who felt unfairly treated.
The disenchantment is already being seen as the kind that contributed to anti-party activities, which played a significant role in the party’s loss in the governorship elections in the state in 2019 and 2023.
Receiving Adamawa APC executives on a Sallah homage at the Government House in Yola on Thursday, Governor Fintiri appealed to party members to remain united and committed to strengthening the APC to secure victory in all elective positions during the 2027 elections.
He said the party members who emerged as candidates after last week’s primaries were chosen by the will of God and expressed confidence that they would defeat candidates of other parties in the coming general elections.
Assuring party members that his administration would continue to promote unity and political stability across Adamawa State, and reaffirming his commitment to ensuring that all APC candidates emerge victorious in the coming elections, the governor reiterated the need for all party members to work for, and not against, the party.
The state chairman of the APC, Alhaji Hamza Madagali, who led his executive committee on their Eid al-Kabir visit to Fintiri, thanked the governor for his role in the conduct of the party’s primaries.
