The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship race in Adamawa has been thrown into high-voltage political drama after three major aspirants suddenly stepped down in a tightly negotiated move that has completely reshaped the contest ahead of the primaries.
The dramatic withdrawals, confirmed after intense late-night consultations within party power blocs, are widely seen as part of a strategic power deal aimed at consolidating influence around a dominant consensus direction.
The decision has instantly altered the political temperature in the state, triggering celebrations in some camps while leaving others stunned and recalculating their next moves.
