Federal government appointees and All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders from Adamawa State have resolved to mobilise for President Bola Tinubu and other party candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Nkem Anyata-Lafia, the special assistant on media and publicity to the Director-General (DG) of the Nigerian Technical Aid Corps (NTAC), Yusuf Yakub, announced this in a statement on Friday.

The group said it reached its resolution on Thursday evening at a strategic meeting in Abuja, hosted and chaired by Mr Yakub.

According to the statement, the gathering brought together prominent APC leaders, political stakeholders and federal appointees from Adamawa State to deliberate on unity, strategic coordination and broad-based support for the party in the state.

The participants reviewed factors that had constrained the party’s performance in the state over the years, particularly the absence of a coordinated and homogeneous approach among stakeholders.

They agreed to put those challenges behind them and move toward a more cohesive future.

The statement further said that the stakeholders emphasised the need to close ranks, strengthen internal collaboration and work with party structures at all levels to achieve shared political objectives.

The meeting also underscored the importance of strategic engagement among Federal appointees, party leaders, candidates and grassroots stakeholders.

It added that participants committed to translating the deliberations into concrete activities and coordinated mobilisation in the coming weeks and months.

The statement added that the meeting concluded with a pledge to intensify consultation, cooperation, and coordinated activities in support of all APC candidates and programmes as preparations for the 2027 elections gather momentum.

The stakeholders also reaffirmed that sustained unity and collective responsibility would remain central to their engagements as they work to strengthen the party’s structures and political presence across the state.

In his welcome remarks, Mr Yakub stressed the need for members to work toward a common objective.

He said unity, consultation and collective action were essential to strengthening the APC and expanding its political fortunes in the state.

The stakeholders present were APC North-East zonal vice chairman, Shuaibu Idris; the APC Governorship candidate in Adamawa, Alhaji Ahmed Galadima; and Binta Masi-Garba, former APC chairperson, Adamawa.

Others included Grace Bent, managing director of the Oil and Gas Free Zone Authority; Alhaji Bamanga Jada; and heads of ministries, departments and agencies from the state, along with other federal government appointees from Adamawa State.
