Senator Umar Bindow has stepped down from the Adamawa Governorship race.
“I, Senator Muhammed Umar Jibrilla Bindow, former Governor of Adamawa State, hereby formally announce my voluntary decision to step down from the contest for the gubernatorial ticket under the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
“This decision has been made after deep personal reflection and careful consideration, and it is based entirely on personal grounds.
“While I may be stepping aside from the gubernatorial race, I want to state clearly and unequivocally that my commitment, loyalty, and dedication to the ideals, leadership, and collective aspirations of the ADC remain firm and unwavering.
“I remain fully committed to the party, its leaders, stakeholders, and members across all levels, and I will continue to support every genuine effort aimed at strengthening our party and advancing its vision for a better Adamawa State and a greater Nigeria,” he said in a Friday statement.
“I sincerely appreciate the overwhelming support, encouragement, prayers, and confidence reposed in me by my supporters, political associates, and the good people of Adamawa State throughout this journey. Your belief in our shared vision has been both humbling and inspiring.
“Politics is ultimately about service, sacrifice, and putting the collective interest above personal ambition. I have taken this decision in that spirit, with the hope that it will further strengthen our unity and consolidate our shared purpose as a political family.
“I urge all my supporters and well-wishers to remain calm, steadfast, and fully committed to the success of our great party.
“May God continue to bless Adamawa State and the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” the former Governor concluded.
