The joining of Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State into the All Progressives Congress (APC) has realigned the political direction of the state.
One of the governorship aspirants in the state, Abdulrahman Haske, stated this in a statement issued by his spokesperson, Abdulgafar Ahmed on Monday in Yola
He said the reception of Fintiri has demonstrated his emergence as the political leader of the state, adding that it is a strategic alignment aimed at strengthening the state’s connection with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
The spokesperson said the presence of Haske, sparked waves of excitement across different sections of the venue with supporters and youth groups chanting praises for the APC chieftain.
The statement reads: “Placards bearing messages of confidence in his leadership and vision were lifted high, as the crowd started chanting household slogans “Haske is Ok”, which reverberated through the crowd, reflecting a growing grassroots sentiment around his role in the future of Adamawa politics.
Observers say the spontaneous show of support signaled the rising political momentum surrounding Haske among party faithful and the youth demographics.
Widely recognised for his community engagement and youth-driven initiatives through the AB Haske Foundation, Haske has steadily built a reputation for connecting with grassroots communities and championing empowerment programmes that resonate strongly with the young population across the state.
For many observers at the event, the energy around Haske underscored the emergence of a new wave of political enthusiasm centered on development-focused leadership, inclusive governance, and stronger grassroots representation.
While the reception primarily celebrated Governor Fintiri’s political realignment, the electrifying reception accorded to Haske added another dimension to the gathering signaling the rising expectations of supporters, who believe Adamawa’s next chapter should be driven by bold ideas, youthful energy, and a clear commitment to sustainable development.
