President Bola Tinubuโs re-election is โnot negotiable,โ adding that no contestant can stop it.

He expressed immense satisfaction with the proceedings, noting that the results of the congresses reinforced the belief that President Tinubu is already assured of a second term without opposition. This sentiment extended to other levels of government, with Agber predicting continued APC control from the House of Assembly to the National Assembly and among the 36 state governors.
From what I saw today during my tour of the local government congresses, it is clear that President Tinubu has no competitor for the presidential election.
Furthermore, Agber urged party faithful in Adamawa State to maintain unity as they look towards future elections. He reiterated the APC's core mission to "rescue the country from the claws of poverty and maladministration," emphasizing that the current government is "people-oriented" and dedicated to delivering the dividends of democracy. The chairman commended the transparent and consensus-driven approach adopted during the congresses, viewing it as a testament to the party's strong internal cohesion. The Adamawa APC congresses are slated to continue on Saturday.
The results of these congresses give me great joy that President Tinubu is already back for a second term unchallenged.
