The Adamawa State
executive council of the All Nigerian Peoples Party has been
constituted after the swearing-in of 27-member state executive council,
following the congress held last month.

The inauguration of
the new party officials was the outcome of the settlement of the
congress that saw the state executive members returned unopposed.

Umar Duhu is the
new chairman of the party, and he replaced Abdulrahman Bobboi, whose
complaint that the party congress was characterised by irregularities
was thrown out by the party’s national secretariat.

Mr. Umar Duhu said
during the inauguration that his vision is to see that the party
present good leaders that would be electable by the state in the
January 2011 elections, adding that the ANPP is still a virile
political party which would not allow it to be used by self-serving
politicians who were fond of using the party platform to get into
offices, only to jump to another political party later.

The party chairman,
who harped on the presentation of credible and good leaders by his
party, said the party enjoyed followership all over the country.

Others inaugurated
officers are Sule Justice, deputy chairman; Ibrahim Medan, vice
chairman north; Gaji Mataffa, vice chairman central; Mohammed Jadu
Sanda, vice chairman south; Mohammed Donadi, secretary; and Hassan
Yerima, deputy secretary.

On the lack of cohesion in the party, Duhu alleged that Ibrahim
Shekarau, the Kano State governor, who has declared his intention to
vie for the presidency, slighted some party elders by not personally
signing the invitations for his presidential declaration.
