On Saturday, the serene town of Lamurde in Adamawa’s Southern Senatorial District was electrified as the who’s who of the All Progressives Congress (APC) gathered for a grand civic reception to honor Hon. Vrati S. Nzonzo, recently appointed as Executive Director, Planning and Design, of the Chad Basin Development Authority in Maiduguri, Borno State.
The event, a testament to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s growing influence in Northern Nigeria, underscored his strategic political maneuvering ahead of the 2027 elections.
Leading the charge was Abdulrahman Bashir Haske, a dynamic and youthful APC stalwart, whose arrival at the venue with his entourage sparked a thunderous ovation.
President Tinubu is transforming Nigeria’s political landscape with bold policies and appointments like Vrati’s, which resonate deeply with the people of Northern Nigeria, especially here in Adamawa
Addressing journalists at the International Hotel post-event, Haske hailed the appointment of Vrati as a masterstroke by President Tinubu, one that is rapidly cementing the APC’s foothold in Adamawa and beyond.
“President Tinubu is transforming Nigeria’s political landscape with bold policies and appointments like Vrati’s, which resonate deeply with the people of Northern Nigeria, especially here in Adamawa,” Haske declared.
Haske, a rising political force known for his philanthropy across Adamawa and beyond, described Vrati as a grassroots politician and unwavering APC loyalist who tirelessly campaigned for Tinubu’s victory in the 2023 elections.
“Vrati’s appointment reflects his dedication and loyalty to the APC. It’s a clear signal that President Tinubu rewards hard work and commitment,” he said, expressing confidence that the move has set the stage for Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 and the APC’s reclaiming of Adamawa State.

The event saw an impressive turnout of APC heavyweights, including former deputy governors, senators, National Assembly members, and party officials, signaling robust support for Tinubu’s leadership.
“The presence of virtually every key figure in our great party here today shows that President Tinubu is making waves in Adamawa. The APC will reclaim its mandate in 2027,” Haske asserted, emphasizing the galvanizing effect of Vrati’s appointment.
Haske’s confidence in Tinubu’s re-election and the APC’s resurgence in Adamawa reflects the growing momentum behind the president’s transformative agenda.
With Vrati now positioned to deliver on critical development projects, and Haske’s visionary leadership gaining traction, the APC appears poised to solidify its dominance in Adamawa, setting the stage for a fierce political battle in 2027.
As the crowd dispersed, the message was clear: President Tinubu’s strategic appointments and Haske’s grassroots mobilization are reshaping Adamawa’s political landscape, with the APC charging toward a triumphant future.
