In politics, loyalty is not just a virtue, it is the backbone of, stability and long-term progress. Chief Hon. Felix Tangwami stands today as the most qualified, tested and trusted leader to carry the banner of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for the Southern Adamawa Senatorial Zone in 2027.

His political journey, defined by loyalty, grassroots connection and a relentless commitment to his people, makes him the obvious aspirant to deliver victory and restore the pride of Southern Adamawa in Nigeria’s political landscape.

1. LOYALTY THAT CANNOT BE BOUGHT: From the onset of Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri’s administration, Chief Felix Tangwami has stood firm with him, through victories, storms and uncertainties.

At a time when many doubted, when others hedged their bets or considered alternatives, Tangwami remained resolute. In politics, loyalty is currency and no one has invested more in the Fintiri project than Chief Tangwami. It is only fitting that such loyalty should be rewarded with the senatorial ticket.

2. THE GANYE ELECTION QUESTION: The recent Ganye bye elections exposed a crack within PDP’s southern zone. If Tangwami were Senator, would the governor have needed to personally step into the battlefield? Absolutely not. A Senator is more than a legislator; he is the Governor of his zone, with the grassroots power to mobilise, defend and deliver. Tangwami would have secured Ganye with ease, sparing the party unnecessary embarrassment.

3. CHAMPIONING SOUTHERN ADAMAWA’S CAUSE: The Federal University of Education, Numan, is a glaring example of missed opportunities. The groundwork was already laid by Senator Grace Bent, yet the zone failed to convert the advantage. Why? Because leadership was absent. Tangwami would never have allowed such a golden chance to slip away. He has the ears of Governor Fintiri, the respect of the presidency and the vision to champion Southern Adamawa’s interests where others falter.

4. A TRUE FIGHTER FOR HIS PEOPLE: Every political observer knows Chief Tangwami as a goal-getter, a man who does not shy away from battles when his people’s interest is at stake. He has consistently fought for his community, never failing to bqaAAring home what rightfully belongs to them. Southern Adamawa deserves a senator with this kind of courage and determination.

5. FIXING YEARS OF POOR REPRESENTATION: Southern Adamawa has suffered decades of weak and uninspired representation. The zone has given much to the state and the nation but receives little in return. This must end. Tangwami has the charisma, grassroots network and political acumen to place Southern Adamawa at the heart of national decision-making once again.

6. GUARDING PDP’s STRONGHOLD: Let us be frank, PDP’s dominance in Southern Adamawa cannot be taken for granted. If the wrong choices are made, the party risks producing its own opposition. The 2027 elections will be fierce and the opposition will try to exploit PDP’s internal weaknesses. Tangwami is the grassroots strategist who can keep the umbrella firmly rooted in the southern zone, ensuring a landslide victory from the ward to the national level.

7. TESTED, TRUSTED AND BATTLE-READY: When it comes to politics in Adamawa, there is no need for long explanations with Chief Tangwami. His record speaks for itself. He is not a man who needs a manual to be understood by the electorates, his character, loyalty and achievements stand tall. He is the people’s candidate, the battle horse who can give the opposition no breathing space.

8. A MAN OF PARTY CULTURE. There must be a reward for party loyalty, because it matters and it matters now, much more than it has ever done before because even at the upper echelon of PDP’s structure, the issue of loyalty is the crux of matter that shook the party to its foundation. Unlike many serial defectors who change parties like clothes, Tangwami has remained a steadfast PDP man. He stood with the party when times were tough, when PDP was abandoned by opportunists and when loyalty was costly. That resilience is rare in today’s politics. Southern Adamawa deserves a senator whose loyalty is unquestionable and whose values are rooted in party discipline.

9. THE TANGWAMI FACTOR: RESTORING SOUTHERN ADAMAWA’S PRIDE: Southern Adamawa is one of the most diverse, resourceful and culturally rich zones in Nigeria, yet it is embarrassingly underrepresented. The difference between the southern zone and others is leadership. Central and Northern Adamawa have consistently outsmarted the South, pulling Federal and State projects to their domains. It is time for that narrative to change.Chief Felix Tangwami is not just an aspirant; he is a movement, a rallying point and the bridge between grassroots aspirations and national opportunities. With him as senator, Southern Adamawa will finally have a strong voice in Abuja, a defender at home and a Political General capable of delivering overwhelming victories for the PDP..

CONCLUSION : The PDP cannot afford to gamble with the Southern Senatorial Zone in 2027. The stakes are too high and the opposition is waiting for the slightest miscalculation. Chief Felix Tangwami is the safest, strongest and most strategic choice. He embodies loyalty, strength, vision and grassroots power.Southern Adamawa deserves a Senator who will fight, deliver and inspire. That senator is Chief Hon.
