Delegates of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) from 21 local government areas in Adamawa on Saturday have elected the immediate past State Organisation Secretary of the party, Alhaji Hamza Bello Madagali, as the new state chairman, alongside 38 other members of the executive committee.
The event was held at the Mahmud Ribadu Square, Yola, during its 2025 state congress, which was presided over by Barrister Dave Iorhemba, Chairman of the Adamawa State Congress Committee.
It was conducted under the watchful eyes of officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), PDP representatives at the National level and security agencies.
Barrister Tahir Shehu, the outgoing state chairman of the PDP in his welcome address, reminded the gathering that the tenure of his executive committee would expire on October 6, 2025, after eight years of service and urged members to extend their support to the new officials for the party to wax stronger.
In his remarks, Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri commended the smooth conduct of the congress, describing it as a reflection of the government’s success in delivering good governance.
“The delegates have come to demonstrate their happiness in electing new leaders of the party for another four years. We have confidence in the new leaders; we know them, we have chosen them to lead us.
“They are experienced, and we believe they will steer the party well. We are working towards 2027 and, insha Allah, we will be there. Power belongs to God, but we are ready,” Fintiri declared.
In his vote of thanks, the newly elected state chairman, Alhaji Hamza Bello, expressed gratitude to the delegates for affirming his leadership and appreciated Governor Fintiri for his guidance.
“The PDP will remain a true family. We will strengthen our structure into a more united party. We are proud of Governor Fintiri because he has changed the state for the better. Every member will be carried along. I also thank the outgoing chairman, Barrister Tahir Shehu, for handing over a stable and formidable structure,” he said.
