New APC executives emerge in Adamawa through consensus

New executives in the Adamawa State chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) have emerged at the weekend as it concluded its state congress through consensus.

Ambassador Baba Gana Ajimi, chairman of the state congress, conducted the congress at the Mahmud Ribadu Square and called for the dissolution of the former state executive council of the party.

Kate Raymond Mamunu, Majority Leader of the State House of Assembly and member representing Demsa State Constituency, moved the motion for the dissolution of the state exco, and was seconded by the chairman of Toungo Local Government Area, Suleiman Ahmed Gangkuba, which brought to an end the tenure of the last exco.

For the state congress to be on consensus, Senator Grace Bent moved the motion according to the party’s constitution, and former Deputy Speaker and member representing Guyuk State Constituency in the State Assembly, Hon. Sunday Peter, seconded the motion for consensus.

Ajimi, the chairman of the congress committee, asked the delegates through a voice vote to confirm the election of the state party executives through consensus.

As a result, Ajimi announced Hamza Bello Madagali as the state chairman, Dr. Raymond Chindama as vice chairman, Mustapha Atiku Ribadu as secretary, Bature Moses as assistant secretary, Victor Dogo as publicity secretary, and Dedan Raymond as youth leader, among others.

Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, speaking at the event, explained that the state has achieved full political integration into the ruling APC and is set for victory come 2027, stressing that what happened in the state was nothing but a political evolution, with the APC having successfully transitioned from alignment to what he called a “full fusion” of political structures across all levels.

He noted that while all stakeholders may not have achieved their individual expectations, “no one is a loser” in the process, as political integration requires sacrifice and compromise.

According to the governor, the congresses in the state reflected the political maturity of stakeholders and demonstrated a shared commitment to building a stronger and more competitive party structure in the state, with the smooth execution of ward, local government, and state congresses.

A political platform tagged “Adamawa Renewed Hope 226 Movement (ARH226M),” according to the governor, has been established, saying that it is a grassroots mobilisation structure covering all 226 wards of the state.
