Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State and the state chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Hamza Madagali, on Monday declared that the state is with President Bola Tinubu in his quest for re-election in 2027.
They spoke in Yola during the launch of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement 2027, marking the beginning of campaigns in the state which has always supported a rival presidential candidate and son of the soil, Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Overlooking the 'Atiku factor' in Adamawa State, Fintiri asserted, "This is Asiwaju state."
He contended that even if for nothing else, Adamawa State will support the president "for his sacrifice, for having been taking the bullet for all of us".
Fintiri said the president has implemented such economic reforms as have empowered the various states to execute worthwhile development projects.
He said, "It is not the responsibility of the Federal Government alone to achieve development and reduce hardship. This is a Federation. We in this state will contine to do our part to improve the lives of the people."
The state APC chairman, Hamza Madagali, who spoke earlier during the ceremony, was similarly emphatic that the state is truly APC and the people will vote accordingly in 2027.
Madagali declared that outside Bola Tinubu, no presidential candidate will get up to 25 percent votes in the state.
