In a significant political development that could reshape the dynamics of the forthcoming Adamawa State governorship election, respected APC stalwart Alhaji Ahmed Tijjani Galadima on Friday paid a strategic courtesy visit to Alhaji Sadiq Mohammed Walin Ganye in Abuja as part of ongoing efforts to consolidate the party ahead of the polls.
The visit, undertaken on the directive of the National Security Adviser, Malam Nuhu Ribadu, sought the intervention and support of Walin Ganye in facilitating the integration of Alhaji Abdulrahman Haske, his political structure, and numerous support groups into a broader and united governorship campaign.
The mission reflects the APC’s determination to strengthen internal cohesion and present a formidable political front capable of delivering victory in Adamawa State.
The choice of Walin Ganye for such a sensitive reconciliation mission is widely viewed as a recognition of his towering influence in Adamawa politics. Beyond being one of the state’s most respected elder statesmen, Walin Ganye is the Chairman, Board of Trustees of the International Peace Commission, a position that has further reinforced his reputation as a bridge-builder, advocate of peaceful dialogue, and promoter of unity across political, ethnic, and religious divides.
Over the years, Walin Ganye has earned widespread respect as a political oracle in Adamawa State, whose counsel is sought by political leaders, traditional institutions, and community stakeholders alike. His ability to foster consensus and mediate complex political issues has made him one of the state’s most influential and stabilizing figures.
During the meeting, Alhaji Ahmed Tijjani Galadima explained that the objective was to build a united political family capable of advancing the APC’s vision for Adamawa through collaboration, inclusiveness, and mutual respect among all stakeholders.
According to sources close to the discussions, the meeting was cordial, fruitful, and forward-looking, with both leaders agreeing that sustained dialogue remains the most effective path toward strengthening the party and ensuring collective success.
The discussions are expected to continue in the coming days, with Alhaji Abdulrahman Haske and key members of his political movement joining subsequent engagements aimed at broadening consultations and forging lasting unity within the APC.
Speaking during the meeting, Alhaji Tijjani Galadima emphasized that unity remains the greatest asset of any successful political party, stressing that the APC’s strength lies in its ability to bring together experienced leaders, emerging political actors, and grassroots supporters under one common vision.
In his remarks, Walin Ganye welcomed the initiative and reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to promoting peace, reconciliation, and inclusive political engagement. He noted that sustainable political progress can only be achieved through consultation, understanding, and a shared commitment to serving the people above individual interests.
Both leaders expressed confidence that the reconciliation initiative would not only strengthen the APC’s electoral prospects but also deepen political stability and foster a more united atmosphere in Adamawa State.
Political analysts believe the Abuja meeting represents one of the most significant reconciliation efforts within the APC in recent times, with Walin Ganye’s leadership, statesmanship, and internationally recognized peace-building credentials expected to play a pivotal role in forging a united front ahead of the governorship election.
