Today, Monday, 23rd March 2026, Nigeria will be in Yola, not only to witness but to participate in the grand reception of Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri into the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The event is expected to draw political leaders, party faithful, supporters, and observers from across the country, all converging on Yola to celebrate what many consider a major turning point in the political history of Adamawa State.

The grand reception is more than a ceremonial gathering; it is a demonstration to the world that the APC has made a significant political catch in Adamawa. With the coming of Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri into the Adamawa APC, the face and fortune of the party have changed dramatically.

What was once an opposition platform preparing to confront a strong, formidable, and powerful incumbent has now transformed into a dominant political force with renewed confidence, structure, and grassroots strength.

Beyond this, the coming of Fintiri into the APC has also attracted other Adamawa political bigwigs into the party, boosting the morale of those already in the fold and strengthening unity within the ranks. The growing influx of influential stakeholders is seen by many as effectively sealing Adamawa for the APC in the 2026 elections, from the State Assembly to the Governorship, the National Assembly, and even the Presidency. This momentum has created renewed optimism that the party will record sweeping victories across all levels.

The enthusiasm surrounding the grand reception has energized party stakeholders, youths, women groups, and community leaders, many of whom see the development as the beginning of a new chapter for the APC in Adamawa. The excitement reflects renewed confidence, unity, and expectations that the party will not only consolidate power but also dominate future elections seamlessly.

Today Monday 23rd 2026, is therefore a big day. Adamawa will be agog for the ‘homeboy’, Fintiri, whose political journey and leadership style have earned him admiration across party lines. Nigeria will be in Yola to celebrate the APC’s getting into its a consistent election winner, a performer, a democrat, and a leader known for utilizing today’s opportunities to secure tomorrow’s success.

The gathering in Yola will not only be a grand reception but also a powerful political statement, one that signals unity, strength, and a redefined political future. It will showcase the APC as a party that continues to expand its base and attract influential leaders, while also highlighting Governor Fintiri as a political figure whose influence transcends party boundaries.

As supporters throng Yola for the grand reception, the message will be clear: with Fintiri, Adamawa’s political equation has changed, the APC has gained significant momentum, and the party is poised for a new era of dominance across the state. (Daily Trust)
