Walin Ganye Breaks Silence, Calls For Calm Over Adamawa APC Governorship Tension

In the wake of rising political tension and heated reactions trailing the declaration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial flag bearer in Adamawa State ahead of the 2027 governorship election, revered elder statesman and Chairman Board of trustees of the International Peace Commission, Sadiq Mohammed Walin Ganye, has passionately called on party supporters and citizens across the state to remain calm, peaceful, and law-abiding.
Speaking amid growing uncertainty, political anxiety, and emotional reactions from supporters across various local government areas, Walin Ganye warned against actions capable of threatening the peace and unity that Adamawa State has enjoyed over the years.
The respected political leader, known widely for his long-standing commitment to peacebuilding, reconciliation, and grassroots leadership, urged aggrieved party faithful to embrace dialogue, patience, and political maturity rather than violence or destructive confrontation.
According to him, politics should never be allowed to divide communities, destroy relationships, or ignite conflict among citizens who have lived together peacefully for generations.
“Adamawa belongs to all of us. No political disagreement should be allowed to destroy the peace and brotherhood of our people,” the elder statesman reportedly stated while appealing to supporters across the state.
Walin Ganye further emphasized that democracy thrives on tolerance, consultation, and respect for differing opinions, noting that moments of political tension require wisdom, restraint, and responsible leadership from both politicians and their supporters.
His intervention comes at a critical moment when emotions have continued to rise following the APC governorship flag bearer declaration, with supporters of various aspirants expressing mixed reactions across the state.
Political observers say the peace appeal by the respected elder has already begun calming nerves in several communities, especially among youths and grassroots supporters who look up to him as a symbol of unity, wisdom, and stability in Adamawa politics.
Many residents and stakeholders have commended the timely intervention, describing it as a patriotic move capable of preventing unnecessary political unrest and preserving harmony within the party and the state at large.
Across Adamawa, citizens are now calling on political actors to emulate the peaceful posture of Walin Ganye by placing the collective interest of the state above personal ambition and political rivalry.
As the political atmosphere ahead of 2027 continues to gather momentum, analysts believe voices of moderation, peace, and statesmanship will play a decisive role in preventing division and strengthening democratic stability in Adamawa State.
