2027: APC vows to retake Adamawa as reconciliation committee meets state, LG executives

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has taken a major step towards resolving differences among members in Adamawa State.

A resolution committee assembled by the national headquarters of the party met with officials of the party in Adamawa State on Monday as a first interactive step to achieve harmony within the party.

The APC which produced the Adamawa State Governor in 2015, failed in its return bid in 2019 and failed again in 2023 to get back to power.

The party which lost narrowly in each case and blamed it on intraparty rancour, noticed the same sort of lingering rancour after the 2023 election, hence the decision to set up a reconciliation committee.

The committee began its meeting with party officials Monday afternoon telling the officials to see victory in 2027 as a reality that they must achieve.

The committee which is under the leadership of Senator Mohammed Mana, who represented Adamawa North District in 2007-2011, has Isa Baba as Secretary and erstwhile senators Abubakar Halilu Girei, Bello Tukur and Binta Garba as well as Mrs Bridget Zidon, Martins Babale and Yusuf Yakub as members.

In his opening remarks during the meeting at the APC state secretariat in Yola, the chairman of the committee, Muhammed Mana, said the APC is a grassroots political party and mending fences will enable it to wax stronger and take power from the ruling party in the state, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

He commended the National Security Adviser, NSA, Malam Nuhu Ribadu who is the party leader in the state for striving towards ensuring that the aggrieved members of the party are reconciled so that the party can regain its lost glory in the state.

In his welcome address, the Chairman of the party in the state, Idris Shuaibu, expressed optimism that the reconciliation will enable the party win the 2027 governorship election.
