“The Complete Roll Call: Every Single Democratically Elected Governor Who Ruled Adamawa State Revealed!”.
Adamawa State has experienced a combination of military and civilian administrations since its creation on August 27, 1991, following the split of the former Gongola State into Adamawa and Taraba states. While various military administrators and acting governors have held power, a select group of politicians have secured democratic mandates to lead the state:....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

-
Abubakar Saleh Michika (January 1992 – November 1993): Running on the platform of the National Republican Convention (NRC), Michika became the first democratically elected civilian governor of Adamawa State during the transition program of former military President Ibrahim Babangida. His administration was cut short when the military returned to power in November 1993, and he passed away on March 10, 2018.
-
Boni Haruna (May 1999 – May 2007): Haruna assumed office at the dawn of the Fourth Republic on May 29, 1999, under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). His path to the governorship was unique because Atiku Abubakar had originally won the election with Haruna as his running mate before Atiku was selected as Olusegun Obasanjo’s vice-presidential candidate. Haruna later won a term in his own right in 2003, ultimately serving a full eight years.
-
Murtala Nyako (May 2007 – July 2014): A retired naval officer, Nyako succeeded Haruna under the PDP banner. Following legal battles that nullified his initial victory and subsequent re-runs, he won another term in the February 2012 election and later defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC). His tenure ended abruptly in July 2014 due to an impeachment by the State House of Assembly, which an appellate court later declared unconstitutional. Following a period of succession disputes involving acting governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, Bala James Ngilari successfully claimed his right as deputy governor to serve out the remainder of the term until May 2015.
-
Mohammed Umaru Jibrilla Bindow (May 2015 – May 2019): Bindow won the 2015 governorship election on the platform of the APC, succeeding Bala Ngilari after previously serving as a senator for Adamawa North. He served a single four-year term after losing his 2019 re-election bid to Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri.
-
Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri (May 2019 – Present): Fintiri, who had previously served briefly in an acting capacity following Nyako’s impeachment, won the 2019 governorship election under the PDP by defeating incumbent governor Bindow. He subsequently secured a second term after winning a closely contested 2023 election against APC candidate Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed (Binani), a victory that was later affirmed by the Supreme Court.

Playing Games With The Bar: Wike Blasts NBA Executives For Trading National Issues For Political Drama!.
Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike has criticized the leadership of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), accusing them of prioritizing politics over matters affecting the legal profession and labeling a recent NBA event in Rivers State a “flop”. During a media interaction in Port Harcourt, Wike challenged the NBA president regarding their legacy, contrasting it with his own administrative achievements in the FCT. He defended the Federal Government’s track record under President Bola Tinubu, asserting that all initiated projects will be finished before the administration’s term ends and daring critics to compare Tinubu’s accomplishments in Abuja to past governments.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a separate development, African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain Haruna Gololo criticized Wike during an interview with The Whistler, accusing the minister of governing with a monarchical style reminiscent of his tenure as Governor of Rivers State. Gololo’s remarks came in response to Abuja’s recent flooding crisis and Wike’s subsequent demolition directives aimed at clearing blocked waterways. The ADC politician maintained that Abuja’s residents refuse to be treated as subjects and are neither intimidated by the minister nor his directives.

No Barrier Here! Wike Declares EFCC Probe Can’t Stop Betta Edu Or Anyone From Campaigning For Tinubu!.
Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike has asserted that individuals under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) retain the right to campaign for votes, emphasizing that an anti-graft probe does not equate to a legal conviction. Addressing public and media criticism surrounding the inclusion of Betta Edu as Director of Women Mobilisation in the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign team for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid, Wike pointed out double standards in political scrutiny. Edu, who faced suspension and an EFCC investigation over financial misappropriation allegations in January 2024 without being formally declared guilty, was strongly defended by the Minister.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Wike argued that individuals facing legal or financial allegations have historically contested and won major elections in Nigeria, noting instances where candidates with active court cases secured gubernatorial seats. He further contended that even prisoners and individuals linked to severe allegations—such as coup plots—can legally endorse or canvass for political candidates. Consequently, he maintained that an ongoing EFCC investigation should not disqualify anyone from serving on a campaign council or rallying support for President Tinubu.
