Murktar Adamu of the Adamawa Businessmen’s Forum, and Dr. Lawal Abdullahi of the Adamawa Professionals Network. The stakeholders said they were united by a shared conviction that Senator Abbas possesses the experience, credibility and popular appeal required to lead Adamawa State to greater heights. His rise to Speaker of the 7th Adamawa State House of Assembly from 2019 to 2023, they said, further underscored his leadership capacity and legislative depth. Particular attention was drawn to his motion on flood control in Adamawa State, which addressed the recurring devastation caused by the River Benue and the Lagdo Dam. The groups concluded by calling on the PDP leadership to rally behind Senator Abbas, insisting that he represents the party’s strongest chance of victory in 2027.
