Barrister Idris Shuaibu has been named the chairman of the Adamawa State chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Before the emergence of Shuaibu, the party was led by Ismaila Tadawus in an acting capacity after the removal of Ibrahim Bilal in 2022 on allegations of embezzlement of party funds.
At an emergency meeting in Yola, the state capital, members of the party’s State Executive Committee (SEC) approved the nomination of Shuaibu as the substantive chairman of Adamawa APC.
While speaking at the meeting, the state secretary of APC, Dr. Raymond Chidama, noted that the committee acted on a memo from the northern senatorial zone, which endorsed Shuaibu because of his leadership qualities and performance in his previous capacity as the party’s legal advisor.
In his acceptance speech, the new Adamawa APC chairman said his administration would prioritise reconciliation among various camps in the party, calling for the support of all stakeholders.
Politics Nigeria gathered that the APC in Adamawa has been polarised as a result of disagreement that emanated from the governorship primary.
One camp is loyal to Senator Aishatu Binani, the party’s governorship candidate in the last election, and the other, Nuhu Ribadu, the National Security Adviser.
