DAILY RENDEZVOUS

Daily Rendezvous Binani was not on my mind and probably not on any political analyst mind, as a possible and formidable candidate to clinch the APC governorship ticket of the usually rancarous and chaotic APC. She made the least noise, the fewest of public movements but made the biggest of impacts on the D-Day, the primary. The Senator representing Adamawa Central, Engr. Aishatu Dahiru Binani surprised everyone when by the morning, she was announced to have emerged as APC candidate for the 2023 general elections beating Mallam Nuhu Ribadu and the immediate past Governor of Adamawa state, Mohammed Umaru Jibrillah Bindow. The Adamawa Central political power house emerged as the first female governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) in Nigeria.

Daily Rendezvous BY IBRAHIM .M. HAMMAN    As Nigeria’s ruling party, the All Progressive Congress, APC gets ready for its Gubernatorial Primaries in less than 72 hours, the focus and of course attention will be on Adamawa.  The Gubernatorial Primaries would avail both pretenders and contenders the latitude to avail themselves before respected delegates and critical stakeholders vested with the responsibility of choice.  Under globalization and multi-culturalism in the politics of choice and change, the name that keeps resonating within the political circles in Adamawa is that of Otunba Umar Mustapha Madawaki, a man with dazzling brilliance and intellectual capacity to be the state’s next Governor.

Daily Rendezvous One of the leading gubernatorial aspirants of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) Umar Mustapha Madawaki has slammed Gov. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri over wasting Adamawa's funds and plunging the state into unnecessary debt by building flyovers describes as engineering disaster. Umar Mustapha said he would destroy the bridges not out of hate or opposition but because I can build something far better, classier, and economically profiting for the state. Umar Mustapha contended that Fintiri's sense of a flyover is an engineering disaster and an exercise in economic waste for a state with little or no source of income like Adamawa state.  Mustapha made the remarks during an interactive session with Newsmen over the weekend in Yola, Adamawa state. The APC most vocal aspirant argues that his remarks on the flyovers has nothing to do he being in the opposition but because what he and his partners intend to build has not existed yet in the entire northern Nigeria...

Daily Rendezvous By Missang Oyama The aura around him exudes peace, and his carriage is a manifestation of serenity to wit. He carries a certain charm and calm mien; well-composed, speaks sparingly and sensibly. Umar Mustapha Madawaki (fondly called, Otumba) is a magnet that attracts unity among people, and his sense of dedication to duty is unparalleled. He is a man of easy manners and stable emotions. From his formative years, Umar has shown that he is endowed with the uncanny gifts of academic, business, and leadership genres.

In the trajectory o...
