The development comes barely hours after a leading senatorial aspirant, Peter Fwa, dumped the APC, accusing party leaders of orchestrating candidate imposition through a so-called “Presidential List.”

A fresh crisis has erupted within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa State after 60 House of Representatives aspirants jointly rejected alleged plots to impose candidates through what they described as a fraudulent consensus arrangement ahead of the party primaries on Saturday.

The development comes barely hours after a leading senatorial aspirant, Peter Fwa, dumped the APC, accusing party leaders of orchestrating candidate imposition through a so-called “Presidential List.”

In a communiqué issued at the end of the 2027 APC Adamawa State House of Representatives Aspirants Forum on Friday, the aspirants declared that consensus arrangements had failed across the eight federal constituencies in the state and demanded free, fair and credible primaries across all 226 wards.

The forum accused some state party executives of mounting pressure on aspirants to step down, allegedly citing “orders from above” and invoking the names of the Governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Fintiri, and the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu.
