FORMER COUNCILLORS BACK FINTIRI’S BID FOR SENATE SEAT IN 2027

Former councillors in Adamawa State have thrown their support behind Governor Ahmadu Fintiri as he considers a move to the Senate in the 2027 general elections. The endorsement adds to the political activities already building around the next election cycle and signals growing interest in Fintiri’s political future beyond his tenure as governor.

The former councillors reportedly expressed their support during a meeting with the governor, describing his leadership and contributions to the development of the state as reasons for backing his proposed Senate ambition. They are expected to mobilise support for his candidacy and work with other political stakeholders as preparations for the 2027 elections gradually intensify.

Fintiri, who has served as governor of Adamawa State, has remained an influential figure within the state’s political landscape. His administration has focused on infrastructure, public services and other development programmes, while his political network has continued to play an important role in the activities of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state.

The endorsement comes at a time when politicians across Nigeria are beginning to position themselves ahead of the 2027 elections. Although political alignments and nominations are still subject to the formal processes of the relevant political parties, the backing from the former councillors could strengthen Fintiri’s position as he weighs his next political move.

The former councillors said they were prepared to support the governor’s aspiration and contribute to efforts aimed at securing victory at the polls. Fintiri’s possible Senate bid is expected to attract further political attention in Adamawa as parties and political actors begin preparations for the next general elections.
