Tinubu’s 2027 bid: APC kicks off Adamawa campaign, Vows grassroots victory

By Yagana Ali, Yola.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa State has formally kicked off its campaign for the 2027 general elections, throwing its political machinery behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s bid for a second term while mobilizing support for the party’s National Assembly candidates.

The campaign flag-off, held on Tuesday, drew party leaders, aspirants, supporters and grassroots mobilizers, who gathered to rally support for the APC and begin what party officials described as an intensive statewide mobilization ahead of the elections.

Representing Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri at the event, Deputy Governor Professor Kaletapwa Farauta described the flag-off as more than a conventional political rally, saying it marked the beginning of a determined effort to mobilize the people and secure victory for the APC in Adamawa.

Farauta commended President Tinubu for what she described as his administration’s efforts to reposition the country through its policies and programmes.

She urged Nigerians to support the Federal Government by voting for the APC in 2027, arguing that continuity would allow the administration to consolidate its ongoing reforms and development initiatives.

According to her, the Adamawa APC would leave no stone unturned in its bid to secure victory for President Tinubu, the party’s senatorial candidates and House of Representatives aspirants across the state.

Farauta said the party would take its campaign directly to the people, with supporters expected to engage residents at the grassroots and mobilize voters across communities.

“We will go door-to-door, house-to-house, village-to-village and stand shoulder-to-shoulder to ensure that APC wins overwhelmingly in Adamawa State,” she said.

She urged party members to remain committed and united as the campaign progresses, stressing that victory would require sustained engagement with voters at the grassroots.

Also speaking on behalf of the senatorial and National Assembly aspirants, Mustapha Salihu described the rally as a historic moment and the beginning of a new political chapter for the APC.

Salihu said Nigeria had endured significant challenges in recent years but was gradually moving towards a period in which the impact of the Federal Government’s reforms would become more evident.

He therefore appealed to Nigerians to support President Tinubu’s re-election and vote for APC candidates in the National Assembly elections, saying continuity in leadership was important for consolidating ongoing development efforts.

Salihu disclosed that the campaign was initiated by the North-East Door-to-Door Movement before receiving the support of the Adamawa State Government.

Speaking on behalf of the movement’s leadership, including High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, he expressed appreciation to Governor Fintiri and the people of Adamawa for their support and participation.

He described the turnout at the rally as an indication of the commitment of supporters to the APC’s political agenda ahead of the 2027 elections.

Earlier, Adamawa State APC Chairman, Hamza Madagali, thanked party supporters for responding to the mobilization call and urged them to maintain the momentum beyond the campaign launch.

Madagali charged party members to take the campaign to homes, markets, villages, settlements and places of worship, stressing the importance of direct engagement with voters.

He said the APC’s chances of success in 2027 would depend largely on the dedication of its members at the grassroots.

The chairman urged party faithful to remain united, organised and committed to the mobilization drive, saying sustained interaction with voters would be critical to delivering victory for President Tinubu and the party’s National Assembly candidates across Adamawa.

With the campaign now formally underway, the APC is expected to intensify its grassroots activities across the state as political parties begin positioning themselves for the 2027 general elections.
