Yola, September 23, 2025 — Former Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, David Iorhemba, has expressed confidence that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is on course to reclaim power in the 2027 general elections.
Iorhemba, who served as the returning officer for the PDP’s local government delegates congresses held across Adamawa on Saturday, told journalists in Girei Local Government Area that the smooth conduct of the exercise demonstrated the party’s unity and strength.
He commended Governor Ahmadu Fintiri for what he described as exemplary leadership, noting that his governance style has consolidated the PDP’s structures both at the state and grassroots levels.
“The successful conduct of the congresses signifies maturity, peace, and cooperation among party members. With this level of organisation, PDP is well positioned to win the presidential poll in 2027,” Iorhemba stated.
The congresses, which produced new executives and national delegates in all 21 local government areas of Adamawa, were largely determined through consensus arrangements.
Meanwhile, the party’s Appeal Committee is set to begin sittings on Sunday to review petitions that may arise from the local government congresses, while the state congress has been scheduled for next Saturday.
Speaking with Arewa PUNCH, the PDP State Organising Secretary, Hamza Madagali, described the congresses as a success and a clear pointer to the party’s readiness for the next general elections.
“The PDP in Adamawa is consolidating its grassroots structures and positioning itself as a formidable force with a united front to reclaim its mandate in 2027,” Madagali said.
