Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party to join the All Progressives Congress in Yola the State capital.
The governor disclosed this in a statewide broadcast on Friday morning.
According to Governor Fintiri, the decision followed “wide consultations with stakeholders, political leaders, and citizens across the state,” stressing that the move was taken in what he described as the best interest of Adamawa and its future development.
The governor disclosed that all commissioners, elected officials, and political appointees across the 226 wards of the State would be joining him in the new political platform.
According to him, the defection is aimed at strengthening governance, fostering unity, and aligning the state with what he termed broader national development priorities.
Political observers say the mass movement of government officials alongside the governor signals a significant shift in party dominance within the state, with potential implications for upcoming political activities and elections.
Meanwhile, reactions are beginning to trail the announcement, as party supporters and opposition figures assess the impact of the development on the state’s political balance.
