Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has pledged to deliver Adamawa for the All Progressives Congress and President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections.

Mr Fintiri, who formally defected from the Peoples Democratic Party two weeks ago, said this at the APC national secretariat.

He spoke after a closed-door meeting with Nentawe Yilwatda, the APC national chairman and members of its National Working Committee.

He said the visit was to reaffirm his total commitment to the success of Mr Tinubu and all APC candidates in the coming 2027 general elections.

Mr Fintiri assured that his state would deliver at least 85 per cent of the total votes to the party.

He expressed optimism that, given the sterling performance of the Tinubu-led administration, Nigerians from all parts of the country would vote to re-elect him in 2027.

He added that though the policies Mr Tinubu initiated were harsh, Nigerians would vote for him to ensure his re-election.

According to him, the policies and programmes of the Tinubu-led administration are already yielding positive results as the country is working in the right direction.

Mr Yilwatda, in his remarks,  commended  Fintiri for defecting to the party,  describing him as “a fitted political maestro” who has brought great value to the APC.

Mr Yilwatda, while reacting to the crisis in opposition parties ahead of the 2027 elections, said it was not the APC’s duty to organise the opposition. He advised opposition parties to organise themselves to compete, saying the APC would, however, be happy if they failed to do so.
