Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, has issued a strong warning against any attempt to manipulate the 2027 general elections in the state, declaring that the people of Adamawa will not allow anyone to rig them out.
Fintiri made the declaration on Thursday while addressing All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders during the party’s engagement in Yola.
The governor challenged party members to return to their respective local government areas, wards and polling units and begin mobilising support ahead of the 2027 elections.
According to him, victory at the polls would depend on grassroots mobilisation and the commitment of APC members across the state.
Fintiri, who is the APC Adamawa North senatorial candidate for 2027, vowed that no individual would come into the state and manipulate the electoral process against the people.
“I swear by Almighty Allah that no person born of a woman will come to Adamawa and rig us out,” he declared.
He also urged APC members not to allow rumours surrounding the party’s candidates or its chances in the 2027 elections to create divisions among them.
Fintiri insisted that the APC remains the dominant political platform in Adamawa, urging members who contested and lost during the party’s primaries to remain committed to the party.
“You should not allow rumours to determine your political advantage,” he said, stressing the need for unity among APC stakeholders.
The governor further described the APC as a party open to people from different ethnic and religious backgrounds, urging members to work together ahead of the 2027 polls.
Fintiri also used the occasion to call on northern leaders to take greater responsibility for addressing the insecurity and other challenges confronting the region, rather than blaming President Bola Tinubu.
He argued that northern leaders should focus on finding lasting solutions to insecurity and improving governance in their respective communities.
The governor expressed confidence that the APC would secure victory across Adamawa in the 2027 elections, from the presidential contest down to the councillorship polls.
