A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and governorship aspirant in Adamawa State, Abdulrahman Haske, has identified purposeful leadership, intra-party harmony and stability as key elements for an enduring democratic system, which offers greater socio-economic development for a nation.
Speaking in Gombe today, March 25, Abdulrahman Haske said that such intra-party stability has positioned the APC across the country as a party that has institutionalised progressive governance in all its activities at local, state and national levels, attributing the success to the purposeful leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as leader of the party.
According to him, the peaceful conduct of the various party events across local, state and national levels reflects the deliberate stability which the party leadership has continued to create for all stakeholders in the country.
Addressing party faithful and delegates on the sidelines of the congress, Haske described the gathering as a defining moment for the APC in the North-East, emphasising that the congress reflects the party’s unity, internal democracy, and readiness to consolidate its political strength ahead of future electoral contests.
“This Congress is not merely a procedural gathering; it is a powerful affirmation of our collective resolve as a party. It demonstrates that the APC remains united, focused, and prepared to deepen democratic values while advancing the development agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
Abdulrahman Haske expressed gratitude to President Tinubu, the national leadership of the APC, and delegates at the congress for fostering a transparent and inclusive political environment within the party.
According to him, the APC remains a platform where emerging leaders and fresh ideas can thrive.
There were chants, banners and visible grassroots mobilisation around Haske’s presence at the event which were widely interpreted as an indication that his aspiration continues to gain traction within party ranks and among supporters.
The event was hosted by the Governor of Gombe State, Muhammadu Yahaya and drew an array of influential leaders within the APC fold, including Barrister Idris Shaibu Gella, State Chairman Adamawa State as the new National Vice Chairman, North-East.
Among those present were Governors Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State, Agbu Kefas of Taraba State and Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State; Deputy Governor, Borno State, Umar Usman Kadafur; Deputy National Chairman of APC, Hon. Ali Bukar Dalori and the immediate past APC North-East Vice Chairman, Comrade Mustapha Salihu. Other party chieftains and stakeholders from across the geopolitical zone were also present.
The congress gradually transformed into more than a routine party gathering as Haske arrived with party stalwarts, youth mobilisers, and grassroots leaders.
Supporters flooded the venue carrying placards, posters, and banners while chanting the eslogan “Haske Maganin Duhu” and “Haske Is Okay,” in a show of solidarity that signaled the rising momentum behind his political movement.
