2027: Gongola elders reject imposition, demand fair contest for APC aspirants
Gongola elders in Adamawa State, Nigeria, have rejected the imposition of a governorship candidate for the 2027 general elections, demanding a fair and transparent primary election. The elders warned that imposition could trigger internal crisis and weaken the APC's chances in the election.
Gongola elders in Adamawa State have cautioned the All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership against imposing a governorship candidate for the 2027 general elections. The elders, representing over 80 ethnic nationalities, met in Abuja and insisted on a level playing field for all aspirants in a transparent primary. Maj-Gen. Haladu Anthony Hananiya stated that imposition is 'dangerous to internal democracy and party survival.' The group reaffirmed support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election but stressed that this does not extend to interference in Adamawa's internal politics. Several aspirants are reportedly vying for the APC's ticket, including Hon. Abdulrazak Sa'ad Namdas, Dr. Salihu Bakari Girei, and Ahmed Tijjani Galadima. The elders urged the APC leadership to ensure a credible primary election reflecting party members' true wishes.
