Comrade Mustapha Salihu, the North-East National Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), marked his birthday in grand fashion, extending support to no fewer than 5,000 beneficiaries across Adamawa State. The elaborate celebration, which lasted an entire day, featured cash donations to patients at various hospitals, including Fofure Cottage Hospital, Modibbo Adama Teaching Hospital, Girei Cottage Hospital, and Yola Specialist Hospital.

In addition to the hospital donations, 2,000 students across tertiary institutions in Adamawa State benefited from scholarships initiated by Comrade Salihu. Plans are underway to extend support to 250 more students in the near future. This move has been lauded by Comrade Mustapha Atiku Ribadu, APC State Organization Secretary, who praised Salihu’s unwavering commitment to humanity and education.

He does this not for recognition but for the sake of God and the betterment of society

Salihu’s efforts in education span across several institutions, including the Adamawa Polytechnic, Federal College of Education, and Federal Polytechnic Mubi. According to Ribadu, “He does this not for recognition but for the sake of God and the betterment of society.”

Hon. Kabiru Mijinyawa, representing Yola South in the State Assembly, highlighted Salihu’s long-standing support for vulnerable groups, including widows, orphans, and physically challenged persons. The birthday colloquium was attended by prominent political figures, including the Adamawa State APC Chairman, Barr. Idris Shuaibu, and members of the State House of Assembly.

Barr. Shuaibu praised Salihu as a pillar of support and a silent achiever whose contributions have significantly bolstered the APC’s presence in the Northeast. “He is a man of peace, a selfless leader whose philanthropic deeds are unmatched,” Shuaibu added.

The event also featured cash donations to women, youth, and physically challenged individuals across Fofure, Yola North, Yola South, and Girei Local Governments. Comrade Mustapha Salihu expressed gratitude to his supporters and reiterated his commitment to serving the people of Adamawa State and fostering development in the region.
