A 2027 governorship aspirant in Adamawa State, Abdulrahman Haske, has commended Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri for what he described as inclusive leadership during the recently concluded congresses of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by his media team, Haske praised the governor’s approach to intra-party engagement, noting that it ensured the participation of key stakeholders across ward, local government, and state levels.
According to him, the governor’s leadership style has helped to strengthen unity within the party at a time when internal alignments could have created divisions.
He said the peaceful conduct of the congresses reflects a shared commitment among party members to build a cohesive and competitive structure ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Haske also highlighted the launch of the Adamawa Renewed Hope 226 Movement, a grassroots mobilisation initiative covering all wards in the state, which he said would enhance coordination and collaboration among party stakeholders.
“It is reassuring that the governor recognises the importance of inclusivity and consensus-building in party activities,” he said, adding that such an approach promotes unity and long-term stability.
The aspirant further congratulated the newly elected party executives, led by the State Chairman, Hamza Bello Madagali, expressing confidence in their ability to provide effective leadership.
He also acknowledged other officials, including Deputy State Chairman Raymond Chidama, Secretary Mustapha Atiku Ribada, Assistant Secretary Bature Moses, and zonal chairmen Bello Baballo, Steven Doma, and Umar Sahid.
Haske urged the new executives to uphold fairness, accountability, and inclusiveness while working to strengthen internal cohesion and position the party for future electoral success.
Widely regarded as an emerging political figure in Adamawa, Haske is gaining attention ahead of the 2027 gubernatorial race, with supporters highlighting his background in business, philanthropy, and grassroots mobilisation.
