2027: Adamawa APC Stakeholders Meet NSA Ribadu

Adamawa State stakeholders and party leaders have met with the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, as political activities intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections.

According to IREPORTERONLINE, the meeting focused on strengthening unity and promoting greater cooperation among political leaders and stakeholders in the state.

During the engagement, Ribadu commended Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri for what he described as remarkable strides in governance. He also expressed confidence in the level of political cooperation among stakeholders in Adamawa.

The NSA noted that stronger collaboration among political leaders could improve the party’s prospects of securing victories at various levels during the 2027 elections.

The meeting also provided an avenue for Adamawa stakeholders and party leaders to reaffirm their commitment to maintaining a united political front as preparations for the elections gather momentum.

The stakeholders agreed that greater coordination and collective action would be necessary to achieve their political objectives, stressing that unity among leaders and supporters would remain crucial ahead of the polls.

Meanwhile, Professor of Political Economy, Pat Utomi, has suggested that Nigeria’s political and economic trajectory could have been different if former President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua had survived his illness and completed his tenure.

Utomi made the observation during an interview on Csuite Cafe, where he described Yar’Adua as a patriotic leader who was committed to improving the country.

Yar’Adua died on May 5, 2010, after serving as president for approximately three years. He was succeeded by his then Vice-President, Goodluck Jonathan.

Recalling his relationship with the late president, Utomi disclosed that Yar’Adua once invited him to the Presidential Villa and encouraged him to join his administration as a minister.

Utomi said he declined the offer because he believed he could make a greater contribution by remaining outside government and offering independent advice.

According to him, Yar’Adua disagreed with his position and argued that he could have a greater impact from within the administration.

Utomi recalled that their meeting took place on a Friday when the former president was meeting with members of his economic team.

He maintained that Yar’Adua genuinely wanted Nigeria to progress and could have influenced the country’s development differently had he lived longer.
