Abdulrahman Haske: Purposeful leadership, intra-party stability drive democratic success
Abdulrahman Haske, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa, says purposeful leadership and intra-party harmony are critical to building a resilient democratic system that fosters socio-economic development.
Haske, who is also an APC governorship aspirant in Adamawa, spoke on the sidelines of the ruling party’s zonal congress for north-east states held in Gombe on Wednesday.
He attributed the party’s national success and institutionalised progressive governance to the purposeful leadership of President Bola Tinubu.
The congress, hosted by Inuwa Yahaya, governor of Gombe, brought together influential APC leaders from across the north-east. The event saw dris Shaibu Gella, chairman of APC in Adamawa, elected as the new national vice- chairman, north-east.
Other attendees included Governors Mai Mala Buni (Yobe), Agbu Kefas (Taraba), and Ahmadu Fintiri (Adamawa); Deputy Governor Umar Usman Kadafur (Borno); deputy national chairman Ali Bukar Dalori; and immediate past North-East Vice Chairman Comrade Mustapha Salihu, alongside party chieftains and stakeholders from the region.
Congratulating Gella and other elected officials, Haske highlighted that the peaceful conduct of party events at local, state, and national levels reflects the deliberate stability fostered by APC leadership.
Addressing delegates, Haske described the congress as a defining moment for the party in the North-East, emphasizing that it showcased APC’s unity, internal democracy, and readiness to consolidate its political strength ahead of upcoming elections.
“This Congress is not merely a procedural gathering; it is a powerful affirmation of our collective resolve. It demonstrates that the APC remains united, focused, and prepared to deepen democratic values while advancing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s development agenda,” Haske said.
The Adamawa-born politician also expressed gratitude to President Tinubu, the APC national leadership, and delegates for promoting a transparent and inclusive political environment, adding that the party continues to provide a platform for emerging leaders and new ideas.
Haske received an enthusiastic reception in Gombe, with supporters flooding the venue carrying placards, banners, and chanting slogans such as “Haske Maganin Duhu” and “Haske Is Okay,” signaling rising momentum for his political movement.
He urged party leaders, stakeholders, and supporters nationwide to rally behind APC as preparations intensify for the National Convention slated for March 27–28, 2026, which he described as the apex gathering that will strengthen the party’s unity and strategic direction.
