2023: Adamawa Governor Fintiri Declares For Second Term

Adamawa State Governor, North East Nigeria, Ahmadu Fintiri has declared to seek re-election in the 2023 general elections.

Gatekeepers News reports that Fintiri made his declaration at the Ribadu Square in the state capital Yola yesterday after swearing-in 21 local government chairmen, who were elected in council elections conducted earlier on Saturday.

He noted that he would be seeking the party’s ticket once again for the coming general election.

Fintiri said he was encouraged to seek a second term by people who had been urging him on, with some of them even obtaining the necessary forms for him.

Fintiri said: “It is no longer news that the Nomination Form for Adamawa governorship race of our party has been picked for me. This is because we have built a trusting relationship with the electorate, the majority of who are the masses where our support (in votes and prayers) is derived.”

Similarly, Fintiri’s immediate predecessor, Jibrilla Bindow has declared his intention to seek a return to the office that he vacated in 2019.

Bindow, who is sitting governor and candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC ) for the 2019 election, said yesterday that he would be seeking the APC governorship ticket once again as the 2023 elections approach.
