As the August 16 Ganye Constituency House of Assembly bye-election draws closer, political activities are heating up in what is shaping to be a defining moment for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa State. Amidst the flurry of campaign strategies and grassroots mobilization, a leading political advocacy group has publicly lauded the pivotal role of WALIN Ganye in reengineering unity within the APC and restoring the party’s dominance in the constituency.
According to the group, WALIN Ganye has successfully mended longstanding internal rifts that once fractured the APC’s local structure. His bold reconciliatory efforts have not only brought together aggrieved party members but also rejuvenated the party’s base ahead of the highly anticipated bye-election.
Most notably, his strategic political engagements have led to the defection of influential figures from the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) into the APC fold. Among these political heavyweights are Rev. Habila M. Istifanus, Hon. Mathias Barde, and several other grassroots mobilizers whose presence is expected to further galvanize support for the ruling party.
“This is a turning point for the APC in Ganye. The caliber of individuals now aligning with our party is a clear indication that we are not only rebuilding but expanding,” the group emphasized. “WALIN Ganye’s political maturity, tact, and dedication to unifying the party has returned hope and direction to our members. This is no longer just a bye-election—this is a reclaiming of our stronghold.”
The late member representing Ganye Constituency was elected under the APC banner, and party stakeholders argue this fact alone affirms the constituency as a stronghold of the APC. However, the party is not leaving anything to chance. Rather, it is leveraging this momentum, the wave of high-profile defections, and the internal reconciliation to consolidate support and secure victory.
The group also hinted that the APC’s current resurgence in Ganye is setting an example for other constituencies, showcasing what is possible when leadership focuses on unity, inclusiveness, and strategic alliances.
As preparations for the bye-election enter top gear, the APC appears more organized, confident, and determined than ever to reassert its grip on the constituency. With the weight of influential political actors now behind the party, and the internal ranks once again marching in unison, Ganye Constituency may well witness a decisive return of the APC to the House of Assembly come August 16.
One thing is certain: the political tide in Ganye is shifting—and the APC is determined to ride the wave back to victory.
