The Adamawa Progressive Elders Council of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has pledged full support to the party's newly elected state executives. In a statement released on Sunday in Yola, the council congratulated the 27 elected officers, highlighting Alhaji Hamza Madagali, who emerged as state Chairman, Dr. Raymond Chidama, elected Deputy Chairman, and Comrade Mustapha Atiku Ribadu, named State Secretary. The statement was issued by Ahmad Sajoh, Head of Media and Publicity for the council. It expressed confidence in the new leadership's ability to bring fresh perspectives and renewed dedication to the APC in Adamawa State. The council said it looked forward to working collaboratively with the executives to achieve shared goals for the state's development. According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), some of the newly elected executives previously belonged to the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and joined Governor Ahmadu Fintiri in his recent defection to the APC.
The elders council celebrates a new APC leadership that includes defectors from the PDP, yet offers no explanation for how shifting party affiliations strengthens political consistency. Governor Ahmadu Fintiri's move to APC with former PDP members undermines the narrative of party loyalty the council now endorses. The endorsement appears less about ideology and more about aligning with prevailing political currents. Named individuals now face the challenge of proving their commitment beyond party labels.
