Adamawa Reclaims Spotlight: Fintiri Comments After Leaving PDP For APC

According to Ireporter Online, the Governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Fintiri, has assured that his commitment to the people of the state remains steadfast, even as he switches political allegiance. The governor made the announcement on Friday following his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Fintiri explained that the move was aimed at reintegrating Adamawa into the national political landscape and taking advantage of the initiatives being rolled out by the administration of President Bola Tinubu. He emphasized that he joined the APC with his entire political structure, asserting that Adamawa is now “back at the table where things are happening.”

In a statement shared on his account, the governor said, “Today in Yola, I took a decisive step for Adamawa’s future. After wide consultation, we are aligning with the APC to return our state to the centre of national politics and leverage the Renewed Hope Agenda of the President for real gains. The mandate of 2019 and 2023 remains sacred. Platforms may shift; our covenant with the people stands. And we have moved, with our full political structure. Adamawa is back at the table.”
