THE People’s Democratic Party Adamawa State Chapter launched yesterday an 831-member presidential and governorship campaign council for the 2023 elections
The campaign council which was inaugurated by the state party chairman, Tahir Shehu, has the Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, as chairman of the council, with pioneer PDP chairman in the state, Chief Joel Madaki, as vice chairman while Barr. Awwal Tukur and Dr Aliyu Hong, former minister of state for foreign affairs, are to serve as director general and secretary respectively.
The 831 member list also has the following party members Hon. Abubakar Wambai designated to serve as deputy director general North, Penticost Agiso Central and Felix Tangwami Southern zone.
Earlier, Fintiri urged the electorate to re-elect him for another term in his remarks at the inauguration. He said he needed to finish the good work his administration had started over the course of the previous three and a half years, which had brought unprecedented growth and development to almost all sectors.
He added that despite the fact that the state he encountered was nearly comatose as a result of the outrageous mismanagement of previous regimes, other global economic difficulties, and the COVID-19 pandemic, his administration had been able to fulfill its obligations to the people with astounding satisfaction.
He said, “Moving forward into a phase that would require a renewal of this mandate, I want the citizens to expect more from us. We shall consolidate on the gains already made on each item on the 11-point agenda. At this point, we have a deeper and better understanding of some of these issues and would no doubt improve on our approaches and strategies to achieve positive results with maximum impact.”
Fintiri, however, caused an outburst when he appeared to mock the All Progressive Congress (APC) in response to a recent court decision invalidating governorship primaries and by refusing to order the holding of new primary that would have allowed the party to participate in the governorship elections.
Fintiri said, “Because of our good intentions God has thrown confusion into the midst of the camps of the enemies of the people.“They will remain confused until 2023. While they fight each other, we shall continue the good works to the glory of God and the benefit of our people,” the governor stated.
Fintiri continued by saying that everything his administration had accomplished was because of the collective faith, support, and sacrifices of every citizen, which he swore not to take for granted.
