No fewer than six aspirants have so far obtained nomination forms to contest for the governorship ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC), ahead of the party’s primaries in Adamawa State.
The development shows rising political interest in the race as internal consultations and realignments intensify within the party structure.
The aspirants, drawn from different political zones of the state, include Ahmed Tijjani Galadima, Abdulrahman Haske, Salihu Bakari Girei, and Bello Ibrahim Thul from the Central Zone.
From the Southern Zone, Abdulrazaq Namdas and Chief Bilishan F. Tangwami have also joined the contest, bringing the total number of form buyers so far to six.
Party sources said the purchase of forms marks the beginning of heightened political activities within the APC ahead of the forthcoming governorship primaries.
According to the sources, the party is expected to screen and clear aspirants in line with its electoral guidelines before proceeding to consultations and the primary election.
Political observers say the spread of aspirants across zones reflects a competitive field and early positioning among key stakeholders within the party.
They added that the development signals increased mobilisation and strategic alignment as aspirants seek to consolidate support ahead of the contest.
The APC is yet to release its official timetable for screening, appeals, and conduct of the governorship primaries in the state.
