Ahmadu Fintiri Firmer Than Ever in PDP Amid APC Defections Rush
Governor from the North Discloses Planned Switch from PDP to APC Party
In the midst of a mass exodus from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has confidently denied rumors suggesting he's planning to jump ship.
According to reports from our platform, the denial was confirmed by the Governor's Chief Press Secretary, Humwashi Wonosikou, during a recent media briefing in Yola.
Wonosikou underlined Fintiri's dedication to the PDP, emphasizing that he's firmly committed to leading the party's National Convention Committee.
"Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri is still 100% a member of the PDP. He's not leaving," Wonosikou unequivocally declared.
The assertion comes as speculations swirl about potential PDP governors defecting to the APC, following the high-profile departure of Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, and his predecessor, Ifeanyi Okowa.
Their defection, along with the entire PDP structure in Delta State, has fuelled debates about the future of the opposition party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
APC National Chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, who welcomed the defectors last week, boasted about more PDP governors joining the APC ranks soon. However, Wonosikou maintained that Fintiri has no such intentions.
