Women from three local government areas in Adamawa North have called on Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri to contest the Senate seat representing the zone in the 2027 general elections. They cited what they described as his performance in office and growing public support as reasons for their demand.
The women, drawn from Maiha, Mubi North, and Mubi South local government areas, said the governor’s developmental projects and leadership style had earned him the trust of many residents across the northern zone of the state. In a statement issued after their meeting, the group said sending the governor to the Senate would help sustain the progress recorded under his administration and give the zone stronger representation at the national level.
Backing Governor for Senate
The group described the governor as the most suitable candidate for the Adamawa North senatorial seat. They argued that his governance record has positioned him as a preferred choice ahead of the 2027 elections. Their push was driven by a desire to preserve what they called good governance and ensure continued development for communities in the zone.
In a dramatic twist, the women said they were prepared to explore legal options if the governor refuses to join the Senate race, insisting that their demand reflects the wishes of many people in the area. However, they did not explain the legal basis for such action.
Call for Ramatu Bello to Contest Reps Seat
The women also threw their weight behind Engr. Ramatu Sali Bello for the House of Representatives seat. They said Bello had demonstrated commitment to community development and possesses the leadership qualities needed to represent the people effectively at the federal level. According to the group, her contributions to grassroots development and engagement with local communities make her a strong contender for the position.
Grassroots Mobilisation Pledge
The women pledged to mobilise support across communities in Maiha, Mubi North, and Mubi South to ensure victory for both candidates in the 2027 elections. Their endorsement comes as political alignments and early campaigns ahead of the 2027 general elections continue to gather momentum across Nigeria.
