Adamawa will re-elect Tinubu in 2027, says APC chieftain

President Bola Tinubu faces no significant opposition in Adamawa State for the 2027 presidential election, according to Aliyu Abbati, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and senatorial aspirant for Adamawa Central. Abbati asserted that the appointment of Nuhu Ribadu as National Security Adviser and other federal positions granted to Adamawa indigenes have secured Tinubu's victory in the state.

“

My advice to the president is that he should focus his campaign on other states, but for Adamawa State, Ribadu has finished his presidential election victory.

Speaking in Yola, Abbati, an agricultural scientist and policy strategist, advised the president to focus campaign efforts elsewhere, stating that Ribadu has effectively clinched the election for Tinubu in Adamawa. He emphasized that the current administration has provided more federal appointments to Adamawa citizens than previous governments. The recent appointment of Abdulrazaq Namdas as Director-General of the Border Communities Development Agency was cited as further evidence of the president's commitment.

“

Adamawa State has never had it so good as under President Tinubu. We occupy top positions.

Abbati also pointed to the establishment of the Ministry of Livestock Development, with an Adamawa indigene as minister, as a key initiative that will drive wealth creation in rural areas and contribute to fighting insecurity. He urged Nigerians to support Tinubu, suggesting that elite opposition stems from policies benefiting rural communities. Regarding security, Abbati advocated for a review of operations, increased use of technology, and greater community participation, including empowering rural populations with controlled arms for self-defense.

What else do we need again for us to give the president 99.9 per cent of our votes?
