The Forum of former APC Local Government Area Executives and Ward Chairmen (2014-2021) of Mangu Local Government Area convened a meeting on Saturday, 6th September, 2025, in Mangu. The gathering culminated in a unanimous resolution to appeal to the party leadership for fair consideration of Mangu Local Government Area in the selection of a Governorship candidate for the 2027 general elections.
The Forum’s appeal is predicated on the Local Government Area’s unwavering support for the party since 2015, consistently delivering strong voters turnout and dedicated grassroots mobilization. By presenting a candidate from Mangu Local Government Area, the party would not only energize the Local Government Area but also send a powerful message of equity and inclusion to the wider electorates.
Furthermore, the Forum posits that Mangu Local Government Area boasts a rich history of producing qualified, competent leaders who possess an intimate understanding of the unique needs of the Local Government Area and the State. By considering a candidate from the Local Government Area, the party would demonstrate its commitment to justice, fairness, and internal democracy.
In conclusion, the Forum is confident that Mangu Local Government Area has the potential to produce exceptional leaders. As such, the Forum respectfully appeals to the party leadership to consider its request. A meeting has been proposed to discuss this matter further at the convenience of the party leadership.
The appeal was signed off by Hon. Japheth Adamu, Forum Chairman, and Hon. Benjamin Dikut, Forum Secretary.
