Fulani Leaders Back Sen. Abbo for Adamawa Governorship

Fulani leaders, known as Ardos, from the 21 local government areas of Adamawa State have officially endorsed Sen. Elisha Ishiaku Abbo of the Labour Party as their candidate for the 2027 governorship election. This endorsement occurred amidst opposition from the Adamawa State chapter of Miyetti Allah Tapital Pulaku kautal Haure, which reportedly threatened to impose disciplinary actions on the endorsing leaders.

Ardo Maikano Ahmadu Bello, the leader of the endorsing group, cited Abbo's consistent support for Fulani communities, his competence, leadership qualities, and commitment to the common man as reasons for their decision. He asserted that no cultural or religious association has the authority to dictate voting choices.

Abbo's contributions to the Fulani communities include assistance in veterinary medicine for cattle, educational support for children, and community development projects. Abbo, represented by his running mate Hon. Sanusi Farouk Jauro, expressed gratitude for the support and reiterated his commitment to addressing socio-economic challenges if elected.

Abubakar Usman Damare, the Director General of Abbo's campaign organization, encouraged the leaders to remain steadfast in their support.
