Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State says the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is fully repositioned and prepared for the 2027 general elections.
Speaking with journalists on the sidelines of the party’s state congress in Yola, Fintiri said the exercise reflected transparency, fairness, and renewed public confidence in the PDP.
“We are trying to give birth to a new PDP where everyone will believe, trust, and have confidence. We are really positioned, and we are ready for 2027. The party is moving at supersonic speed, and the government has recalibrated the system to provide good governance for the people,” he stated.
Fintiri noted that the large turnout at the congress underscored the confidence citizens had in the PDP, adding that the newly elected executives would guide the party for the next four years.
“We know them and we have confidence in them. They have experience in party politics, and we believe they will lead us well as we work towards 2027. By God’s will, we will get there and produce another good government, just as we have experienced in the last eight years,” he said.
Madagali Emerges Chairman
Delegates at the congress elected Alhaji Hamza Madagali as the new State Chairman, while Mr Saleh Shelleng emerged as Secretary of the party.
PDP stalwart and House of Representatives aspirant for Guyuk/Shelleng Federal Constituency, Mrs Golfa Mallim, congratulated the new leadership and urged them to consolidate on the party’s achievements.
She described Madagali as a visionary leader committed to grassroots development.
“This is a memorable moment for us in the PDP. Alhaji Madagali has passion, love and dedication for the growth of the party at all levels. His leadership would guarantee a stronger PDP capable of reclaiming more political seats in 2027,” Mallim said.
She also called for unity and reconciliation, stressing that internal divisions could undermine the party’s prospects.
“For us to succeed as a party, we must set aside differences and work collectively. Supporting Alhaji Madagali is the first step towards a revitalised and formidable PDP in Adamawa,” she added.
