JUST IN: AB Haske’s Defection Could Reshape Adamawa’s Election as His Dynamo Grassroots Base Remains a Decisive Factor

As political calculations ahead of the 2027 governorship election in Adamawa State intensify, speculation about the political future of Abdulrahman Bashir Haske continues to dominate discussions.

The energetic young leader has built a reputation that transcends party lines, driven by his dynamo grassroots machinery and widespread popularity.

Haske, a successful businessman, philanthropist, and dynamic political figure, has emerged as one of the most loved and energetic young aspirants in the state.

His influence stems from extensive humanitarian interventions, youth empowerment programmes, educational scholarships, and direct engagement with citizens across all 21 local government areas.

During the recent APC governorship primaries, Haske demonstrated exceptional grassroots strength. He garnered significant votes from virtually every corner of the state — from the northern zones of Mubi, Hong, and Maiha to the southern and central areas including Yola, Numan, Ganye, and beyond.

His support cut across diverse communities: youths, women, traders, farmers, and traditional leaders. In several local governments, his campaign recorded impressive delegate backing, reflecting deep penetration and acceptance even in strongholds previously considered difficult terrain.

Despite the official outcome that declared Ahmed Tijjani Galadima as the winner, many of Haske’s supporters firmly believe the process was heavily rigged in favour of Galadima.
