The Adamawa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has dismissed reports that its governorship candidate, Tijani Galadima, has been replaced by the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, ahead of the 2027 governorship election, describing the claims as false and politically motivated.
The party’s reaction came amid growing political tension in the state, with a group of elders from Adamawa Central Senatorial Zone warning that alleged imposition of candidates could cost the APC and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu valuable votes in the next general elections.
Speaking exclusively with Arewa PUNCH on Thursday, the APC Publicity Secretary in the state, Dogo Victor, said the social media reports suggesting that Galadima had been dropped in favour of Ribadu were fabricated by individuals bent on causing disunity within the party.
“The list released on social media is fake. I saw it myself. There is no truth in it. It is the handiwork of enemies of democracy and those who want crisis in our great party because they see us winning the 2027 general elections,” Victor said.
