Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has reacted to growing speculation about a possible defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying any decision he makes will be guided by the wishes of the people of the state.
Gatekeepers News reports that speaking to journalists, Fintiri said politics is about serving the people and that he would not oppose any move that reflects the will of the majority of Adamawa residents.
“There are a lot of rumours about whether I will defect to the APC or not. If that is the wish of my people, I will not object because politics is all about the people,” he said.
The governor dismissed those stirring controversy over the matter, describing them as “political merchants” driven by fear and selfish interests.
“There are people making noise, political merchants, who are treacherous and afraid. I am coming with value, prosperity, and strength to add to wherever we are going,” Fintiri stated.
He said his administration has earned widespread grassroots support through development initiatives, improved infrastructure, and sustained investment in human capital across the state.
“Adamawa is secure because we have built organic connections through development and infrastructure, particularly in human capital. If my people say I should stay, I will stay and I will win,” he added.
Fintiri stressed that his political strength lies in his government’s performance, noting that the delivery of democratic dividends remains his top priority.
“Wherever we go, the most important thing is that we have delivered, and we are going to win,” the governor said.
