A large crowd gathered at Mahmud Ribadu Square, Yola, on Thursday, 12 November 2026, as the All Progressives Congress launched its Adamawa campaign, presenting unity, continuity and support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as central messages ahead of the 2027 elections.
Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri led party stakeholders at the gathering. Retired Brigadier-General Buba Marwa also attended, according to information supplied to Headlinenews.News. Party candidates and supporters used the occasion to demonstrate their commitment to the APC’s electoral ambitions.
Fintiri urged residents to support the party’s candidates, arguing that Tinubu’s economic reforms deserved fair assessment despite the hardship accompanying their implementation. He called for another presidential mandate to consolidate progress and improve living conditions.
The governor also announced plans for free public transportation as part of measures to reduce pressure on residents. The announcement brought household welfare into a rally otherwise dominated by electoral mobilisation and appeals for party solidarity.
APC governorship candidate Ahmed Tijjani Galadima Aminu pledged to consolidate Fintiri’s development achievements while introducing new ideas. His message emphasised continuity in infrastructure, education, agriculture and healthcare, alongside support for Tinubu’s re-election.
The gathering carried particular political significance in Adamawa, the home state of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar. For APC organisers, it provided an opportunity to demonstrate organisational strength and project confidence beyond traditional party divisions.
The turnout offered an encouraging mobilisation signal. Its eventual electoral significance will depend on sustained grassroots engagement and voters’ assessment of competing records and promises.
National Patriots’ Position
The National Patriots welcome Adamawa’s enthusiastic participation and commend President Tinubu’s determination to pursue national renewal. Continuity must consolidate achievements, complete projects and deliver greater household relief. We encourage peaceful mobilisation around credible commitments, productive employment and improved services, translating today’s enthusiasm into informed support for the APC’s development agenda.
