Abdulrahman Haske has concluded plans to declare his intention to contest the governorship election in Adamawa State on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The declaration rally is scheduled for April 25 at the Mahmud Ribadu Square in Yola.
Abdulgaffar Ahmed, Haske’s publicity secretary, said the event is expected to draw about 50,000 supporters, including APC leaders, political allies, youth and women groups, and other stakeholders across the state.
He said the rally will also feature an endorsement of President Bola Tinubu for a second term.
Ahmed said one of the key highlights of the event will be the unveiling of Haske’s policy framework, tagged the Adamawa A.R.I.S.E. Agenda, which focuses on accountable governance, economic resilience, infrastructure development, environmental sustainability, social inclusion, and security.
He said Haske recently secured endorsements from party stakeholders and interest groups ahead of the 2027 race.
Ahmed added that on April 22, 265 women groups also endorsed Haske’s candidacy, citing his grassroots engagement and philanthropic activities, including distribution of food items, agricultural inputs, and Ramadan support for vulnerable households.
“A respected entrepreneur and philanthropist, Abdulrahman Haske has steadily emerged as one of the most promising political figures in the state,” the statement reads.
“In recent weeks, he has garnered extensive endorsements from APC stakeholders and interest groups ahead of the 2027 governorship race.
“During the recently concluded APC congresses in the state, prominent party leaders and members publicly endorsed Haske as their preferred governorship aspirant, describing him as a capable and forward-looking leader with a clear vision — one that builds on existing achievements while driving accelerated socio-economic transformation for Adamawa State.”
Support groups such as the Renew Team for Unity, Progress and Initiative Forum and the Making Adamawa Great Again (MAGA) movement have also declared support for his ambition.
He added that Haske has intensified consultations within the APC, including mobilising members for the party’s electronic registration and meeting with coordinators across the state.
The APC governorship primary in Adamawa has been scheduled for May 23.
