Adamawa gov’ship Aspirant, Balla tackles Atiku over Tinubu’s re-election bid
By Umar Dankano, Yola.
A governorship aspirant under the ruling All Progressives Congress,APC in Adam awa state,Hon.Suleiman Yerima Balla said that former Vice president Atiku Abubakar has no political relevance and strength to beat president Bola Tinubu’s re-election come 2027 elections.
Hon.Yerima Balla made the assertion in Yola, Adamawa state capital on Monday while declaring his intention to contest for the governorship bid stressing that, the time for Atiku has gone for good and had no capacity to withstand president Tinubu’s rising momentum currently in the country.
Balla therefore advised Atiku, whom he addressed as “a grandfather and Son of the soil” to honorably step aside and allow other people with cogent reason to take leadership role for service to the nation and humanity.
Balla stated that his conviction which tells him that, Adamawa’s best days are ahead was what informed his decision to join the governorship race so that he can contribute his modest contributions to taking Adamawa state to the next level of achievements.
“After prayers, reflection, and deep consultations across all 21 local governments, I, Suleiman Yerima Balla, hereby formally declare my intention to contest for the office of Governor of Adamawa state in the 2027 general elections, under our great party, the All Progressives Congress,APC.
“What we need now is unity of purpose. We need to join hands, traditional rulers, religious leaders, farmers, traders, teachers, civil servants, youths and women to unlock the full potential of our state.
“I offer leadership that listen.Leadership that unites, works every day to deliver progress to every ward,every community, and every home in Adamawa”. Said Balla
According to him,if given the mandate,he intent to realize his vision through his 9- point agenda for a greater Adamawa through security & peaceful coexistence, Agricultural revolution, Quality education, Health care delivery, Youth & Women em powerment, infrastructure & Urban devpt.
Industrialization & Jobs, Civil service refo rms & Digital Governance,as well as Faith, Culture and tourism.
Balla therefore urge all and sundry to rally round his ambition so that Adamawa will change for the better under his stewardship come,2027.
