Adamawa South APC Elders Endorse Peter Fwa as Authentic Candidate for Senate

Elders and Bonafide Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Adamawa South Senatorial District on Thursday, endorsed Chief Peter Leonard Ndwacho Fwa, as authentic candidate for the senatorial seat.

The Elders and Bonafide Members of APC cut across, Numan, Lamurde, Guyuk, Shelleng, Ganye, Jada, Mayo-Belwa, and Toungo Local Government Areas, which comprise the zone.

Addressing the newsmen during the endorsement, Muyinani Peter Aini, said that they have carefully observed recent developments within their party as preparations intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections.

 He said that while they fully align with the leadership’s commitment to a transparent, credible, and peaceful primary process, they find it necessary to clearly and unequivocally state our position.

According to him, in the event that ongoing alignments and realignments shape the direction of their party, Chief Peter Fwa remains their preferred and authentic candidate for the Adamawa South Senatorial seat.

"It is on record that Chief Peter Fwa contested for this same position in 2019 and gave a commendable account of himself. 

"He was widely accepted by delegates as the candidate of choice but, in deference to party unity and the counsel of elders, he stepped down for the eventual winner. 

"This singular act underscores his deep respect for party supremacy, discipline, and the collective interest above personal ambition", he stated.

He disclosed that since then, Chief Fwa has remained steadfast, loyal, and committed to the growth and stability of the APC, without agitation for appointments or personal gain. 

He said that as a true grassroots politician, he has consistently supported party activities across all levels, from units and wards to LGAs and the state, both financially and physically.

He stated, "His aspiration to represent Adamawa South in the Senate is not driven by personal ambition, but by a genuine response to the clarion call of the people. Having lived among the people and shared in their realities, he possesses a deep understanding of their needs and aspirations.

"Chief Fwa has demonstrated this commitment through impactful initiatives, including youth empowerment, skills acquisition programmes, scholarship support for indigent students, and active involvement in peace-building and job creation efforts". 

According him, his track record reflects a man prepared not just to lead, but to serve and that his entry into the race is motivated by a desire to confront the longstanding challenges of inadequate representation and to complement ongoing efforts in addressing underdevelopment, insecurity, and youth unemployment across the zone. 

"While we acknowledge the pedigree of other aspirants, many of whom have held public office, we find it difficult to reconcile their years in service with the limited tangible impact on our zone. 

"In contrast, the individual contributions and interventions of Chief Peter Leonard Fwa stand out as visible, measurable, and people-oriented", he explained.

He said that it is on the strength of the verifiable facts and their firm conviction in his competence that they hereby unanimously endorse Chief Peter Leonard Ndwacho Fwa as our preferred candidate.

"We respectfully call on Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, and leader of our party, as well as the APC leadership at all levels and critical stakeholders, to align with this aspiration and support Chief Fwa as the party’s flag bearer for the Adamawa South Senatorial District in the 2027 general elections.

He added that they are confident that the decision will not only guarantee electoral victory for the APC but will also usher in effective, responsive, and people-centered representation for our people.

Several Elders and Bonafide Members who spoke at the event, commended Governor Fintiri, as well as the aspirant and promised to use their influence and rally support for him towards his victory.
