For decades, the Chamba people of Ganye Chiefdom have been a formidable force in Adamawa State’s socio-economic and cultural landscape. As one of the largest ethnic groups in the state, with a significant presence across multiple local government areas, their contributions to Adamawa’s development are undeniable. Yet, despite their unwavering dedication to the state’s progress, the Chamba people have been glaringly absent from the governorship seat—a historical oversight that has left their voices unheard in the highest corridors of power.
As 2027 approaches, the call for justice, equity, and political representation grows louder. The time has come for a leader who not only understands the struggles of the Chamba people but embodies the aspirations of all Adamawa citizens. That leader is Barr Dennis H. Gapsiso, a distinguished legal luminary and an unwavering advocate for justice, fairness, and good governance.
Barr Dennis H. Gapsiso is not just a lawyer; he is a towering figure in Nigeria’s legal landscape. As an advocate of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, his career has been defined by an unrelenting pursuit of justice and fairness.

The Chamba people have long been kingmakers in Adamawa politics, producing influential State House of Assembly members and other political heavyweights.

His legal expertise, administrative experience, and deep understanding of governance make him the ideal leader to transform Adamawa State. At a time when Nigeria is in dire need of principled leadership, Barr Gapsiso stands out as a beacon of hope.
As the countdown to the 2027 gubernatorial election begins, Adamawa citizens—especially the Chamba people—face a defining moment. Will they continue to be spectators in their own political destiny, or will they seize the opportunity to elect a leader who truly represents their interests?
Barr Dennis H. Gapsiso is not just another candidate; he is the symbol of long-awaited change. His vision, experience, and unwavering dedication to justice make him the best choice to lead Adamawa into a new era of fairness, unity, and progress.
