Duhu: Another APC astute and Faithful member, a call to Tinubu for consideration

Share this article

Dr. Umar Duhu is a well-known political figure in Adamawa State and Nigeria as a whole. He is recognized for his staunch political consistency and beliefs in the rule of law, justice, and fairness.

Dr. Duhu has never decamped from his Party, and he gave total constructive opposition to the then-ruling party (PDP) in Adamawa State while he held sway as the last State Chairman of the defunct ANPP, which metamorphosed into the present APC.

His resolve earned him the sobriquet “political gladiator” who worked efficaciously with successful efforts and ensured the collapse of the then entire structure of the ruling PDP Government headed by former Governor Murtala Hamman-Yero Nyako GCON into the then ANPP before its final amalgamation into the APC.

Dr. Duhu is the Traditional Title holder of the Galadima Duhu, and as the Pioneer National Vice Chairman (North East) of All Progressives Congress, APC, he contributed immensely to the growth of the APC in the North East Geopolitical Zone with particular reference to Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno and Taraba States.

Despite the political tension then in these states over who controls the sole of the party post-merger, Duhu’s leadership experience came to bear. He united the party and produced purposeful leadership across all the States in the Zone.

Indeed, Rt. Hon. Ali Bukar Dalori, the present Chairman of the Forum of APC State Chairmen in Nigeria is a product of the conscientious efforts of Dr. Duhu as the Pioneer National Vice Chairman North East of the APC.

Dr. Duhu has remained humble, tranquil, optimistic, and very kind to all those who come his way.

One good attribute consistent with Duhu is he always says; “Allah Gives Power to who He Wills at his Own Appointed Time” and that “No Mortal could stand in the wheel of his Progress of any believer in the Almighty.”

He has always prayed for the success of President Buhari Government and all his appointees.

Surprisingly, Dr. Duhu has not been integrated properly by the Buhari administration. Many young people who have faith in Duhu have long yearned for good representation to better their progression in public and private services.

It is utterly inconceivable that a man like Duhu, who has given so much to the growth and development of APC, has not been made part of the Buhari and APC Government, eight (8) years down the line.

The name Duhu became more obvious spanning over Three (3) decades for his generosity to youths and all. He has made it possible to secure employment in both State and Federal Civil Service for over One Hundred (100) youths in Adamawa State and Nationwide.

It is, therefore, time for the APC Government to recognize and honor its great men, like Dr. Umar Duhu, to further propel the APC Government to an enviable level and for the betterment of the Nigerian State.

Political intrigues in Adamawa State are sometimes overwhelming, but putting the story of Dr. Umar Duhu to the fore will certainly change the dynamics.

His hard work and dedication to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa and nationally have not been properly placed, leaving others more committed to the ideals of the Party.

Several youths irrespective of State, Tribe, and Religion have benefited tremendously from his goodwill through employment opportunities and entrepreneurial development.

Furthermore, Dr. Umar Duhu’s loyalty to the APC and his consistent efforts to ensure the success of the party cannot be overemphasized. He has proven to be a reliable and trusted ally of the party, with his unwavering commitment to the party’s principles and objectives.

As such, it is only fitting that the incoming President, His Excellency Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, considers utilizing the political sagacity of Dr. Umar Duhu in his administration.

Here are some reasons why Dr. Umar Duhu is a valuable asset to any administration:

He has served in various capacities in the past, including as the State Chairman of the defunct ANPP, which later merged with other political parties to form the APC.

As the Pioneer National Vice Chairman (North East) of the APC, he contributed immensely to the growth of the party in the North East Geopolitical Zone with particular reference to Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, and Taraba States.

His experience and expertise in politics make him a valuable asset to any administration that seeks to succeed in Nigeria’s complex political landscape.

Commitment to the Rule of Law, Justice, and Fairness: Dr. Umar Duhu is known for his unwavering commitment to the rule of law, justice, and fairness. His staunch political consistency and belief in these principles have earned him the respect of many, both within and outside the party.

With Dr. Duhu in administration, Nigerians can be assured that decisions will be made on these principles.

Generosity and Empowerment: Dr. Umar Duhu is a well-known philanthropist, who has touched the lives of many youths and less privileged individuals in Adamawa State and beyond.
He has provided employment opportunities and entrepreneurial development to several youths, irrespective of state, tribe, and religion. With Dr. Duhu in administration, there is no doubt that the administration will be people-oriented and focused on the welfare of the masses.

Unity and Purposeful Leadership: Dr. Umar Duhu’s leadership experience and skills have been tested and proven over the years.

As the Pioneer National Vice Chairman (North East) of the APC, he united the party and produced purposeful leadership across all the States in the Zone. This experience and skill will be invaluable in an administration that seeks to foster unity and purposeful leadership.

In conclusion, it is evident that Dr. Umar Duhu is a loyal patriot and astute pathfinder whose political sagacity should be utilized by the incoming President, His Excellency Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

As a man who has given so much to the growth and development of the APC, it is only fitting that he be recognized and rewarded with a cabinet appointment or as Chief Executive of a Statutory Commission.
