The Adamawa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has handed over vehicles to its 21 local government chairmen to assist them cover the state’s 226 wards and drive grassroots mobilisation for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.
Party officials said the support was provided by Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, who now coordinates the APC campaign in the state after leaving the Peoples Democratic Party in February 2026.
Fintiri also serves as patron of the Adamawa Renewed Hope 226 Movement (ARH226M), the structure set up to organise the party from ward to state level.
APC State Chairman Hamza Madagali said the gesture was meant to ease movement across a large and often difficult terrain and to put organisers closer to voters.
“The issue of election is on ground, face to face. No social media issue, no tricks, no video clips face to face with the electorate,” Madagali said.
He argued that the APC already has a stronger physical presence than its rivals. “Please, let’s tell the truth. Which opposition do you see on ground than this party? Since the starting of the campaigns, which opposition have you seen on ground?” The State Secretary Mustapha Ribadu was more cautious about the outcome but pointed to the same ground game.
“Nothing is certain in this world apart from death,” he said.
He added that, the party’s activities across Adamawa were visible in a way the opposition’s were not.
“We are in Adamawa. This is where we are. We have been seeing activities of our party. What is their activity? What are they doing? What are they saying?” Ribadu dismissed what he called “social media noise.”
“There is no polling unit on Facebook, Twitter or TikTok. Polling units are where our cars are going to.”
