2027: Adamawa APC backs Tinubu, welcomes new governorship aspirant

The Adamawa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Monday welcomed a new governorship aspirant, declaring that President Bola Tinubu remains the party’s only viable option at the federal level ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of a ceremony to receive the aspirant, Engr. Diaulhaq Abubakar, the state chairman of the party, Barrister Idris Shuabu, expressed confidence that the APC would secure victory at the federal level.

According to him, President Tinubu has demonstrated strong leadership and performance since assuming office, adding that his record leaves no room for alternative considerations in 2027.

Shuabu cited initiatives such as the students’ loan scheme, the establishment of the Ministry of Livestock Development, and efforts to curb insecurity as evidence of the president’s experience and achievements.

He said these accomplishments underscore why Nigerians should not look beyond Tinubu in deciding the next presidential election.

The APC chairman also described Abubakar as a young, industrious and philanthropic individual, noting that his entry into the Adamawa governorship race is a welcome and deserving addition ahead of the 2027 contest.

In his remarks, Abubakar formally declared his intention to seek the party’s governorship ticket, describing himself as a youth driven by a vision for equitable and inclusive governance in Adamawa State.

“I have the mind to raise the revenue generation of the state to generate enough money to develop infrastructure, spread skills acquisition for personal development of the people, and generally ensure that everyone gets what is due to him or her,” Abubakar said.
