..Haske signals rising clout as party preaches stability

Purposeful leadership and internal cohesion have again been spotlighted as the bedrock of democratic sustainability, as chieftains of the All Progressives Congress gathered in Gombe for a pivotal zonal congress.

The message was reinforced by Adamawa governorship aspirant, Abdulrahman Haske, who stressed that party stability remains essential for delivering socio economic progress across the country.

Haske spoke on the sidelines of the North East APC Zonal Congress, where party leaders converged in a show of strength ahead of looming political contests.

He attributed the party’s resilience and expanding influence to what he described as purposeful leadership at the highest level, noting that the APC has entrenched progressive governance across tiers.

The congress, hosted by Gombe State Governor Muhammadu Yahaya, drew a formidable assembly of political heavyweights and stakeholders from across the North East.

At the gathering, Barrister Idris Shaibu Gella emerged as National Vice Chairman North East, marking a key outcome of the high stakes meeting.

Haske hailed the peaceful conduct of the exercise, describing it as evidence of a deliberate culture of inclusiveness and stability within the party structure.

He told delegates that the congress symbolised more than routine procedure, calling it a defining moment that reflects unity, internal democracy and strategic readiness.

The aspirant maintained that the APC remains well positioned to consolidate its gains and deepen democratic values under its current leadership.

Beyond the formal proceedings, Haske’s presence triggered visible excitement, with supporters and grassroots mobilisers turning out in large numbers.

Chants, banners and coordinated displays of solidarity dominated the venue, amplifying what observers described as a growing political wave around his ambition.

The enthusiastic reception, many believe, signals increasing acceptance within party ranks as the race for Adamawa’s top seat gradually takes shape.

Haske expressed appreciation to the party leadership and delegates for sustaining a transparent environment, insisting the APC continues to provide room for emerging voices.

He urged members nationwide to close ranks ahead of the party’s forthcoming national convention, describing it as critical to reinforcing unity and shaping the next phase of its political direction.
