The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa State has concluded its state congress, installing a new executive team through a consensus arrangement. The event took place at Mahmud Ribadu Square and was chaired by Ambassador Baba Gana Ajimi, who led the congress committee. The proceedings opened with the formal dissolution of the previous state executive council, a motion moved by Kate Raymond Mamunu, Majority Leader of the State House of Assembly, and seconded by Suleiman Ahmed Gangkuba, chairman of Toungo Local Government Area.
To enable a consensus‑based selection of the new leadership, Senator Grace Bent moved the appropriate motion, which was seconded by former Deputy Speaker and Guyuk State Constituency representative Hon. Sunday Peter. Delegates then affirmed the consensus arrangement by voice vote.
The newly elected state executives are: Hamza Bello Madagali as 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.
Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, addressing the gathering, described the outcome as a milestone in Adamawa’s political integration into the ruling APC. He called the process a “political evolution,” marking the party’s shift from mere alignment to a “full fusion” of political structures at all levels. While acknowledging that not all stakeholders achieved their individual ambitions, the governor emphasized that “no one is a loser,” noting that such integration requires compromise and a collective vision. He praised the smooth conduct of ward, local government, and state congresses as evidence of political maturity and a shared commitment to building a stronger party.
The governor also announced the creation of a grassroots mobilization platform, the Adamawa Renewed Hope 226 Movement (ARH226M), which will operate across all 226 wards in the state. He expressed confidence that the new leadership structure positions the APC for success in the 2027 elections. Political analysts view the consensus outcome as a stabilizing factor for the party in Adamawa, reducing the risk of factional disputes and strengthening organizational cohesion ahead of future electoral contests.
