By Our Correspondent

GANYE—In a rare show of cross-faith solidarity that electrified Ganye Chiefdom, Abdulrahman Bashir Haske, a leading All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial aspirant ahead of the 2027 general election, on Friday met with Christian youths in Ganye Local Government Area of Adamawa State, delivering a message of unity, hope and shared destiny that left the audience visibly inspired.

The hall came alive as Haske, a Muslim, lifted his voice in praise, declaring “Praise the Lord!” to which the Christian youths thundered back in unison, “Hallelujah!” In a moment that quickly became the emotional high point of the gathering, he invited women present to lead the hall in praise and worship, joining them in clapping and singing—an act many described as a powerful symbol of inclusive leadership.
In a speech that spellbound youths and dignitaries alike, Haske urged young people to see themselves as ambassadors of peace, calling on them to preach unity wherever they find themselves, irrespective of faith or background. He emphasized that Adamawa’s progress depends on harmony among its diverse peoples and reassured the gathering that “something good is coming to Ganye Chiefdom.” He encouraged the youths to remain steadfast in prayer and positive action.

Haske explained that the meeting was also to personally extend his Christmas goodwill to the Christian community, noting that his absence during the festivities was due to nationwide engagements. “My faith should never be a barrier to our shared humanity,” he said, drawing applause from the audience.
Earlier, Hon. Charles W. Bansi (Wambai Danaba), Chairman of the AB Haske Foundation, formally introduced the Christian youths to Haske. He praised their commitment and responsiveness, describing them as dependable partners who are always available when called upon. Bansi noted that Haske, a son of the soil of Ganye Chiefdom, needs little introduction, adding that his nationwide engagements explain his earlier absence during Christmas.

Highlighting the centrality of youth in Adamawa’s current challenges and future opportunities, Bansi said Haske’s proven success in business reflects the capacity needed to drive economic growth. “If given the mandate to govern Adamawa State, this area will have cause to celebrate,” he declared, thanking Haske for prioritizing engagement with Christian youths and reinforcing the message of unity.
The gathering ended with renewed optimism, as participants hailed the meeting as a defining moment—one that underscored the possibility of leadership beyond divisions and a shared vision for a more united, prosperous Adamawa.
