Ahmadu Fintiri, Governor of Adamawa State, has explained the reason behind his political split from former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Fintiri said their separation was purely due to differences in party alignment.
Speaking during an appearance on Channels Television, the governor emphasized that despite belonging to different political platforms, he continues to share a cordial relationship with Atiku.
According to him, those who are genuinely committed to Nigeria’s progress must recognize one another as partners in nation-building, adding that his political stance is aligned with supporting a southern candidacy.
He dismissed suggestions of any breakdown in communication, noting that political disagreements have not affected their personal rapport.
“There is no strained communication with the former VP as a result of political differences.
“I still have; there is nothing that has gone bad. It is just that everybody has taken their political ways. I am today in APC, they are in another party,” he said.
