Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State has defected from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The governor announced his decision in a statewide broadcast on Friday, revealing that he moved to the APC alongside members of his cabinet and other PDP officials in the state.
Fintiri explained that the defection was taken in the “developmental interest” of the people of Adamawa State.
The move marks a significant political shift in the North-East state and is expected to reshape the balance of power ahead of the 2027 general elections.
