Adamawa based politician and Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Umar Duhu was upbeat that the party in Adamawa is stable, coercive, and is unbeatable come 2023
He expressed confidence that APC will retake power from PDP in Adamawa State.
Umar spoke ahead of the planned congresses of the party, saying the coerciveness
of the party which is about to hold its Congress is geared toward forming the next government.
He said the delay in holding congress was to allow well meaning politicians who are decamping from other parties have time to come in so that they can contribute to the party.
“As far as I’m concerned, APC is stable, APC is a party to beat, APC is one party that is resolute and coercive towards participating in the 2023 elections, hopefully, and God on our side, no doubt about it we are going to make it and form the next government,” Duhu said
The party chieftain believe that APC’s mandate was stolen in 2019 elections, assuring that in 2023 general election, the narrative would change, given that all relevant stakeholders are united.
Speaking on the planned Congress, he expressed optimism that it will be rancour free, reminding those contesting various positions to know that it’s God that gives power.
He however said the party is going to measure up strength on stakeholders organizing a caucus meeting from the unit, ward to the state level to bring on board those that will serve the interest of the party.
According to Duhu, the party will still consider those who served well to retain them during the congress and ease out those that betrayed the party or are not working in the interest of the party.
“Is not going to be a do or die affair, it is just going to be a very simple issue, if there is something against you, or discovered beyond a reasonable doubt you worked against the party in 2019 and after, the party in a round table discussion will allow you to defend yourself. But we will no have any option if party officials at the state level are serving the party well to return them to continue their good work for the party. The party is after a congress that will give birth to credible party officials who will work in the interest of the party come 2023.” He said
He continued to say that the quantum of people coming into APC shows the party is going to form the next federal and the next Adamawa government.
“I have already convinced you beyond reasonable doubt that APC is going to form the next Adamawa government because every person that worked against the interest of the party in the state are regretting their actions, they are now back, resolute to work in the interest of the party.
