Alhaji Ahmed Tijani Galadima has won the Adamawa State governorship primary election of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Galadima was declared winner in the early evening of Friday by the committee from the APC national secretariat which supervised the election and declared the results.

Chairman of the committee, Professor Innocent Bariko, said Galadima polled 414,444 votes to give his opponents wide margins.

The committee chairman announced Hon Abdulrazak Namdas as coming second with 86,004 votes, while third-placed Abdulrahman Haske got 65,934 votes.

In his acceptance speech, Ahmed Galadima thanked President Bola Tinubu, Governor Ahmadu Fintiri and NSA Nuhu Ribadu for their leadership which he said has given the APC the size and strength to make exploits.

He appealed to all APC members for their support to ensure victory for the party at the 2027 general election..

They Akwanga zone will sit up when it matters

Jossyman0007:
Oga,I don't argue blindly,it's all over the news that he was shut out of the venue of the primaries,that he had to forcefully withdraw from it,he even held a press conference to that effect,so.......

I don't just talk for talking sake

Jossyman0007:
This is what Desmond Idiot was crying, begging and persuading the evil cult of APC to allow him participate,but he was shut out .

This is a good sign that NDC is different from the 1,2,3,9,10,19,100,650,1200,5000,10,900,000 irregular counting of the evil called APC


UNAM -IKOT

lecowas:
Not my problem. Just having a discussion. Although I'm a little bit surprised why you seem to keep taking things personally, you aren't like this before. Can we have a discussion with "you" "your" "I" or "me"?

fergie001:
I was shocked to hear it yesterday.

She defeated Atuma in 2003 for Senate in a matter that got to the Supreme Court and bordered on delineation.

Atuma vs Nwaorgu ... Another epic battle. Akobundu (NDC) vs Atuma (APC) vs Nwaorgu vs Nwokocha (LP).

Obi's election is same day.......!!!!

slivertongue:
It's not about turn only but about forces in the state. He may have won in the sdp but winning the guber race is a tall order. The Akwanga zone has maintained a certain pattern of voting and is likely to remain so. the Lafia zone isn't easy to win over. The keffi zone isn't a walk in the park. The incumbent escaped in 2023 but 2027 will pitch the forces against each other

slivertongue:
Ombugadu is a spent force. Almakura isn't taking easy with Apc. Wadada and Gaza I doubt.

maestroferddi:
You being a rabid APC supporter and common sense/objectivity co-existing together have a name in literary appreciation...

It is called an oxymoron...two opposition terms/attributes placed side by side . .

Svoboda:
Pls, go find out about Atikus current status in the north.

OMBIIGA:
What the multiplicity of candidates of Eggon origin across different parties, it's clearly a done deal for Senator Wadata.

runningriot:
Even though Umbuguadu made a political suicidal move to APC that incentive decision has long been forgiven after backtracking to PDP... Nobody can circumvent the truth that he stands out among the candidates and has true organic and grass root support. Equally, no any candidate is more experienced, magnificent and incredible like him! We stand by him and wish and pray all opposition contenders queue behind him for victory. However, no matter how it goes it is Umbuguadu now and forever...

maestroferddi:
Keenly contested indeed.

It is time for APC to be stopped at all cost in Nassaraws State...

They have been finding ways to rig or manipulate themselves to the governorship every election cycle but I hope that this time, they will not be allowed to prevail under questionable circumstances again...

Svoboda:
Not necessarily so. What about the undecided? Obi has never been in reckoning, as far as I'm concerned, since he refused to deputize Atiku. However, many passive supporters from the South South would even be more energised out of solidarity and sympathy, to vote Jonathan rather than Tinubu. Obis urban vote bank might remain intact. Worst case, Jonathan eats from both Obi and Tinubu. No wahala.

Up north, Some of those who'd vote Jonathan are mainly those who are just ok seeing the south ride out the last 4 years of southern presidency. Majority of those who would vote Atiku are those who believe 8 years of northern presidency would be sacrosanct under his govt. In NC, the votes will be simply shred to pieces between obi, Gej and Tinubu. Atikus loyal Muslim base remains intact, both in the NC and the core north.

Svoboda:
Ombugadu might have lost momentum currently, with his indecisive party swings. A lot of his supporters are now asking pertinent questions.

Nb.
With the igps departure, APC is split considerably, especially with al makuras blessing.

Gotocourt:
Has LP finally picked Gaza , he's confused .
From SDP🤷🏿

Svoboda:
Jonathan's coming in to contest is a direct threat to Tinubu. Tinubu is banking on consolidating southern votes, but that plan has fallen flat on its face. With southern candidates cramped in a mushroom, 2027 is Atikus to lose.

Svoboda:
These guys keep exaggerating Tinubus appeal. They make the mistake of equating Tinubu with Buhari. Tinubus chances in the south look slimmer by the day. Chief Segun Osoba, arguably the closest confidante Tinubu has, lamented openly that the plurality of candidates in the south was a threat to Tinubus emergence. Coupled with that, they just don't how unpopular Tinubu is right now.

Svoboda:
What I heard was suspension was for Sallah. To resume in the pm. Those who'd work against APC don't need to leave. They know openly moving to a new party makes them marked men.

Omo agege is no small meat. He worked for obi and obi won. But he made a tactical error. Should have defected to adc before now to contest for senate. He would have trounced dafinone. Great ogboru is the adc gov candidate. The man is loaded. Been contesting nonstop since 99 or 03. I like his tenacity.

Svoboda:
Let's cross our fingers.

Svoboda:
You're using those phantom APC numbers to assess another party's strength? Most aggrieved northern APC are with the adc. The north doesn't make noise, they are built to swallow perceived injustice in silence.

Svoboda:
Like I'd always say, let's cross our fingers.

Svoboda:
I deliberately mentioned duke because no vote is too small for Tinubu in the south at this time and not because I expect him to create something substantial. Makinde snatching something substantial from Oyo is something. Oyo is a high poulation state. Where will he gain what he'd lose in Oyo? You heard what Tinubu confidante openly lamented about plurality of southern candidates. That's Atikus trump card. Atiku knows he won't do well in the south. He knows he has the numbers to overturn Tinubus numbers in the south. At least Delta north will go to Obi plus the southeast. Delta north has the highest number of voters in Delta. The NC isn't anybody's turf. Even the Igbos and other southern diaspora groups form a voting bloc that influences outcomes in both plateau and nasarawa. I told you, you will witness a lot of skirt and blouse voting in the north. The Muslim north has a penchant of going against the establishment when seeking reelection. A lot of APC members in the muslim north will vote against Tinubu. That has always been their system. They did it against Obj in 2003. Against Jonathan in 2011. The only time they stayed with the centre was during Buhari. The only difference now is that Obi and Makinde are a bulwark against Tinubu having his expected unassailable outcome to cancel his expected losses in the north.

Svoboda:
APC in Bauchi is on a life line. Torn to shreds. Senators have decamped. Tugar is angry. Atiku will dust Tinubu in the NE and NW. Bala has a lot of work in his hands, fighting to win Bauchi south. What prize will ningi get in an already saturated APC. What Tinubu will lose in the south to Obi, Makinde and Duke, he can't gain in the north.

Svoboda:
Not this time. He has bled his northern votes already. He needs southern votes like mad. Without bala, Atiku will prevail in Bauchi. Ningi is stuck like glue to Atiku.
