As the 2027 elections approach, Adamawa APC elders are raising alarm bells over President Tinubu’s leadership, warning that failure to address allegations of candidate imposition could lead to electoral defeat. This echoes past mistakes made by the PDP, whose internal disputes weakened its position in the state. The elders argue that imposing candidates undermines grassroots support and erodes party loyalty.
"We cannot afford to repeat the mistakes of the past," stated Ahmed Lawal, a senior party member. "If the voices of our people are ignored, we risk losing not just seats but the trust of the electorate." This statement underscores the urgency felt among party leaders, who are advocating for a more inclusive selection process that resonates with local sentiments.
With political tensions rising, the APC must navigate these challenges carefully to avoid a repeat of past electoral failures. As discontent grows, the party risks alienating its base, which could have significant repercussions in the upcoming polls. The effectiveness of Tinubu's response to these warnings will ultimately determine the APC’s trajectory in Adamawa and beyond as the election date draws near.
