Abdulrahman Haske, an Adamawa State chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), resigns from the APC and joins the Allied Peoples Movement (APM). Sources report that he officially announced his defection in Adamawa and subsequently clinches the APM governorship ticket.
APM officials and outlets describe the move as aligned with the party’s agenda for people-centred governance. Premium Times quotes APM’s national chairman, Yusuf Mamman Dantalle, speaking at the event where Haske’s candidacy is presented. Vanguard reports that Haske frames his switch as a “convergence of principle and purpose,” and says that if elected he will focus on accountable leadership, economic empowerment, youth inclusion, and sustainable development.
Across the reports, the central points are consistent: Haske leaves the APC, joins the APM, and is selected as the APM candidate for the Adamawa governorship election. The outlets differ mainly in the emphasis they place on the political messaging and specific priorities Haske mentions after defecting.
