The leadership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Adamawa State has reaffirmed the party’s unity and preparedness for the 2027 general elections, presenting certificates of return to its candidates while dismissing reports of internal division and calling on aggrieved members to return to the party.
Addressing party supporters during the presentation ceremony, the PDP governorship candidate for Adamawa State chief Morris vunobolki said the gathering was not a political campaign, but a formal event to hand over certificates of return and officially confirm the party’s candidates for the 2027 elections.

According to him, the exercise was aimed at putting an end to what he described as “misrepresentations of facts and propaganda” surrounding the party’s affairs, stressing that the PDP remains one united political family across Nigeria.
He maintained that the party is under the national leadership of Hon. Abraham Mohammed as National Chairman and Senator Samuel Anyanwu as National Secretary, adding that the party’s National Executive Committee had recently ratified the outcomes of the PDP primary elections conducted across the country, including those in Adamawa State.
“The purpose of today’s gathering is not to campaign. We are here to present the certificates of return to all our candidates in Adamawa State.he said
This should finally put to rest all the misinformation and propaganda being circulated about our party. PDP remains one united political party throughout Nigeria,” he said.
The party’s flag bearer explained that alongside the certificates of return, candidates also received the relevant nomination forms issued by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), which would enable them to complete the necessary documentation for their participation in the 2027 general elections.
Vunobolki congratulated all PDP candidates across the country on their successful emergence from the party primaries and expressed confidence that the party was well-positioned to reclaim electoral victories nationwide.
Extending an olive branch to members who may have become disenchanted, the PDP candidate urged them to reunite with the party, describing the PDP as a broad and accommodating platform capable of embracing everyone willing to contribute to its success.
“Our doors remain open. PDP has a big umbrella that can accommodate everyone. We are not interested in quarrelling or competing with anyone within the party. Our focus is on building unity and preparing for victory in the 2027 general elections,” he stated.

Turning his attention to Adamawa State, the governorship hopeful promised a new political direction centred on the people, pledging to end what he described as the era of godfather politics.
He said the PDP’s vision is to ensure that the people of Adamawa become the true owners of their government, insisting that leadership should be driven by the will of the electorate rather than political influence.
“We are determined to bring an end to the politics of godfatherism. The people of Adamawa State will own their government because government belongs to the people, is run by the people, and exists for the people,” he declared to loud cheers from party supporters.
The event concluded with party faithful chanting solidarity slogans as leaders expressed optimism that a united PDP would emerge stronger ahead of the 2027 elections, urging members to remain steadfast and committed to the party’s quest for electoral success in Adamawa State and across Nigeria.
