Adamawa Governor Fintiri Backs Tinubu for Re-election

On October 25, 2026, Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri declared that Adamawa State would support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election bid, despite the political influence of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, who is the presidential candidate for the ADC. Fintiri made this declaration during the launch of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement 2027 in Yola.

He was accompanied by Hamza Madagali, the state chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who expressed confidence in Tinubu's support among voters in Adamawa. Fintiri emphasized that Adamawa is "Asiwaju state" and cited Tinubu's sacrifices and economic reforms as reasons for the state's support.

He noted that Tinubu's administration had empowered state governments to undertake development projects, asserting that economic development should not solely depend on the Federal Government. Madagali predicted that no other presidential candidate would secure more than 25 percent of the votes in Adamawa in the upcoming election.
