The All Progressives Congress (APC) Reconciliation Committee in Adamawa State, along with key stakeholders, has firmly dismissed any concerns regarding the potential threat posed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar to their ambition of winning back the governorship seat in the upcoming 2027 elections.
Led by Senator Muhammed Mana, the committee and senior party members expressed their commitment to overcoming any challenges in their quest to reclaim the governorship and other elective positions from the ruling PDP in the state.
Recent divisions within the state chapter prompted the establishment of a reconciliation committee by the National Secretariat to foster unity within the party. This eight-member team includes notable politicians such as Senators Bello Tukur, Abubakar Girei, Binta Masi, Yusuf Buba Yakubu, Bridget Zidon, and Secretary Isa Baba.
Following a closed-door meeting at the APC national secretariat in Abuja, Senator Mana revealed that the party’s National Chairman, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has tasked the committee with resolving internal conflicts and unifying party members.
He further highlighted that the committee’s efforts will focus on engaging with disgruntled members, rebuilding grassroots relationships, and reinforcing the party’s structure. “Adamawa is a vital state for us, and we are dedicated to ensuring that the APC secures a majority in the 2027 elections. We will connect with those who felt overlooked during the primaries and general elections to unify the party under the APC banner. Our aim is to establish a platform for unity and cultivate the next generation of leaders,” Mana stated.
Binta Masi also conveyed optimism about the committee’s initiatives, affirming, “The battle lines have been drawn, and with Allah’s guidance, we will replicate our previous successes in 2027.”
Addressing concerns about Atiku’s influence on their plans, the stakeholders collectively asserted, “Atiku was present during the APC’s previous leadership. He will not pose a threat to our efforts in reclaiming the governorship seat by 2027.”
