As political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections continue to gather momentum in Adamawa State, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Malam Jamilu Yusuf, has called on members of the party to demonstrate loyalty and refrain from actions that could undermine the APC.
Yusuf made the call while addressing APC members in the state, particularly those who recently joined the party from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and other political platforms.
He urged new members to understand that joining a political party comes with responsibilities, including commitment, patience and loyalty, stressing that members who genuinely believe in the APC should contribute to strengthening the party from within.
According to him, political seasons are temporary, but decisions taken during such periods can have lasting consequences.
Yusuf advised members to draw lessons from the experiences of some “legacy APC” members who, he said, engaged in anti-party activities in the past and later regretted their decisions.
He also cautioned against supporting opposition interests while remaining members of the APC, noting that political alliances can change when circumstances and calculations shift.
He said anyone who no longer believes in the APC or does not wish to see the party succeed has the freedom to seek another political platform.
However, he maintained that those who choose to remain in the APC should demonstrate their commitment by supporting the party and avoiding activities that could weaken its electoral prospects.
“APC is a political family. Let us build it from within rather than destroy it from within,” Yusuf said.
He further advocated greater discipline, trust, loyalty and internal democracy within the party, urging members to learn from past political experiences rather than repeat them.
Yusuf stressed that his message was not targeted at any particular person, describing it as a sincere appeal to APC members, especially those who recently joined the party.
He urged party members to consider the long-term implications of their political choices, saying:
“Let us think about tomorrow while making our decisions today.”
