2027: Haske Resigns From APC, Joins APM As Adamawa Governorship Candidate

Businessman and politician, Hon. Abdulrahman Haske, has resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and joined the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) as its governorship candidate for the 2027 election in Adamawa State.

Haske made the declaration on Saturday at an event attended by APM leaders, stakeholders, traditional and community leaders, youth and women groups, as well as supporters from the 21 local government areas of the state.

He said his decision to join the APM was driven by his conviction that the party offered a credible platform to pursue a people-centred development agenda and build a more prosperous, inclusive and secure Adamawa.

According to him, the move represented “a convergence of principle and purpose” and reflected his commitment to accountable leadership, economic empowerment, youth inclusion, social development and sustainable growth.

“Today is not merely about joining a political party; it is about strengthening a movement dedicated to the future of Adamawa State. Our objective remains clear: to build a state where governance works for the people, where young people have opportunities to succeed, where communities are connected to development, and where public resources are managed transparently for the common good,” Haske said.

The APM governorship candidate said the support his movement had received across the state reinforced his belief that Adamawa was ready for a fresh approach to leadership.

He pledged to mobilise citizens behind an agenda focused on agriculture, infrastructure, education, healthcare, economic empowerment, security and accountable governance.

Haske also thanked the APM leadership, particularly the National Chairman, National Working Committee and Adamawa State chapter, for entrusting him with the party’s governorship ticket.

“I am deeply grateful to the leadership of the Allied Peoples Movement for their belief in our shared vision and for entrusting me with the responsibility of carrying the party’s flag in the 2027 governorship election. I accept this mandate with humility and an unwavering determination to justify this confidence through integrity, hard work and dedicated service to the people of Adamawa State,” he said.

Speaking at the event, APM National Chairman, Yusuf Mamman Dantalle, described Haske as a leader whose political philosophy aligned with the party’s progressive ideals and commitment to people-centred governance.

Dantalle said the party’s decision to support Haske followed consultations and was based on his commitment to development, youth empowerment, inclusive leadership and social impact.

“After extensive consultations, we are convinced that Abdulrahman Haske embodies the values and principles for which the Allied Peoples Movement stands. His belief in empowering ordinary citizens, promoting inclusive development and building stronger communities aligns perfectly with our progressive vision,” he said.

Also speaking, the Adamawa State Chairman of APM, Hon. Badejo Bello, welcomed Haske to the party and described him as a bridgebuilder with an understanding of the developmental challenges and opportunities facing the state.

Bello said Haske’s vision, record of service and commitment to inclusive development were aligned with the party’s direction ahead of the 2027 governorship election.

The declaration ceremony ended with a call for unity among party members and supporters, as stakeholders pledged to work together to strengthen the APM’s political structure ahead of the election.
