The Adamawa State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has passed a vote of confidence in its governorship candidate, Omar Suleiman, reaffirming its support for his candidature ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The endorsement was announced by the Chairman of the party’s Caretaker Committee, Abubakar Audu, who spoke on behalf of the 21 Local Government Area chairmen of the party across the state.
Audu said the decision became necessary following reports and speculations suggesting that the party’s governorship candidate had been sidelined or that another candidate was being considered.
He dismissed the claims as false and the handiwork of what he described as “mischief makers” bent on creating confusion within the party.
According to him, the ADC in Adamawa remains united and has no factions, stressing that Omar Suleiman remains the party’s duly recognised and accepted governorship candidate.
He urged party members and supporters to disregard the rumours and remain focused on strengthening the party ahead of future political activities.
The caretaker committee chairman also called on members across the 21 local government areas to continue working together to build a formidable opposition capable of offering Adamawa voters a credible alternative.
The party maintained that it remains united behind its leadership and governorship candidate, insisting that attempts to create division within the ADC would not succeed.
