Speaking earlier, Yaroe said: “I welcome all of you to this inauguration ceremony of the PDP in Mayo-Belwa LG This ceremony is historic because to the best of my knowledge it is the first LG Campaign Council to be inaugurated in Adamawa State.
“It is on record that right from 2017 when PDP was reorganized in Adamawa State we established a structure that will ensure all segments of the LGAs are carried along and no part is left behind.
He added that Southern Senatorial Zone has been a PDP strong hold since the return to democratic rule in 1999; what happened in 2015 was an aberration caused by impunity, imposition and blatant undemocratic practices at that time that climaxed with the migration of primary elections to Abuja.”

We have every opportunity in the zone to deliver our Party at the Presidential, National Assembly, Gubernatorial and State Assembly elections come 2023. We cannot afford to do otherwise.
