Abdulrahman Bashir Haske (INEC: ABDULRAHMAN BASHIR HASKE) is the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) governorship candidate in Adamawa State for the election of 6 February 2027 (INEC final list, 10 October 2026), with Onatola Morakinyo Safriel (introduced in the press as Safriel Glah) as his running mate. INEC lists him as a 36-year-old man whose declared qualifications are the First School Leaving Certificate and WAEC; Premium Times reports that he was educated at the American University of Nigeria and Manchester Business School (degrees and years not stated). He is a businessman, reported as Group Managing Director of AA&R Investment Group, whose interests include oil exploration, large-scale agriculture, ICT and logistics, and he holds the traditional title Ciroman Ganye. Haske formally declared for the governorship on the All Progressives Congress (APC) platform at Mahmud Ribadu Square, Yola, on Saturday 25 April 2026, but finished third in the party's primary, declared on Friday 22 May 2026 (Ahmed Galadima 414,444 votes, Abdulrazak Namdas 86,004, Haske 65,424 according to Premium Times). He disputed the collation, and his campaign released figures claiming 555,427 votes. After the primary he left the APC: he resigned and joined the APM on Saturday 12 September 2026 and was presented as its governorship candidate in Yola. On Monday 21 September 2026 the APM presented Safriel Glah, a retired NNPC Limited general manager, as his running mate. Press reports of 2 October 2026 said his candidacy featured in discussions about the Electoral Act 2026 after the Supreme Court's judgment of 24 September 2026 on party membership registers and nominations; his supporters rejected suggestions that it invalidated his candidacy. INEC's final list of 10 October 2026 includes him.
