Adamawa South: Peter Fwa Quits APC, Withraws Senatorial Bid

A frontline Aspirant for the Adamawa South Senatorial District, Chief Peter Fwa, has officially dumped All Progressives Congress (APC).

Equally, Peter Fwa, has withdrawn from the 2026 Senatorial Primary to be conducted by the APC, citing compromised and unfair primary process scheduled for May 18th, 2026.

Addressing journalists at the press centre, Prince Peter Fwa said his decision followed extensive consultations with political associates, supporters, and stakeholders across the 9 LGAs which comprise the Adamawa South Senatorial Zone.

He expressed disappointment over what he termed the deviation from principles of fairness, transparency, and justice within the party’s internal process.

He said that he had fully complied with all requirements stipulated by the APC by purchasing his nomination forms and successfully passed the screening exercise conducted by the party’s National Screening Committee in Abuja.

Prince Fwa explained that his decision to contest the Senate seat again was driven by persistent calls from supporters and political stakeholders across the zone, who urged him to offer leadership and representation at the National Assembly.

He recalled that he previously contested for the same position in 2019 and came close to victory before stepping down in the interest of party unity after appeals from party leaders.

He stated that despite making sacrifices for the growth and stability of the APC over the years, recent developments surrounding the conduct of the forthcoming primary election had left him with no confidence in the integrity of the process.

“After careful observation and thorough examination, we have come to the conclusion that the process has deviated from the principles of fairness, transparency, and justice,” he stated.

The politician described the decision as painful, considering the sacrifices, support, and goodwill shown by his supporters across the senatorial zone.

However, he urged his loyalists and supporters to remain calm and law-abiding while consultations continue on alternative democratic platforms to advance the interests of the people of Adamawa South.
