The Allied Peoples Movement has announced Safriel Glah, a retired General Manager at the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, as its deputy governorship candidate for Adamawa State. Glah will contest alongside the party's governorship candidate, Abdulrahman Haske. The announcement was made at a media briefing in Abuja. The party stated that the ticket combines private sector experience with public sector expertise to address economic and governance challenges in Adamawa State.
According to Haske, Glah's selection is a strategic decision based on her professional background, public service experience, and expertise in administration. He highlighted that his background in business, investment, and youth empowerment complements Glah's over three decades of experience in public administration, environmental governance, and institutional management. Haske emphasized that their partnership brings together complementary strengths in enterprise and public administration.
Glah retired from NNPC Limited as General Manager and Head of Environment, Health, Safety and Environment. She is a Fellow of the Nigerian Society of Engineers and has over 34 years of professional experience in Nigeria's oil and gas industry. Her career includes work in engineering management, environmental policy, institutional management, and sustainability. The APM highlighted these areas as part of the experience she would bring to the ticket.
In her acceptance speech, Glah thanked the APM leadership and residents of Adamawa State for the confidence placed in her. She pledged to support Haske and contribute to the implementation of the party's proposed agenda, with emphasis on development, accountability, and administrative discipline. Glah expressed her readiness to listen, work, and serve the people of Adamawa State.
APM National Chairman Yusuf Dantalle and Adamawa State Chairman Badejo Bello expressed support for the Haske-Glah ticket. Dantalle stated that the party deliberately sought to combine private enterprise with public governance experience to support its proposals for economic growth, employment, and institutional reforms. Bello described Glah's emergence as a significant development for the party ahead of the election.
The APM is expected to continue its mobilisation and campaign activities across Adamawa State as political parties prepare for the 2027 general elections. The party's approach to the election is focused on combining private sector experience with public sector expertise. This approach is expected to support the party's proposals for economic growth and institutional reforms.
The selection of Glah as deputy governorship candidate is seen as a strategic move by the APM to strengthen its campaign in Adamawa State.
