BREAKING: Atiku’s Governor Defects To APC

AI Summary

Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri announced on Friday that he has left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the All Progressives Congress (APC), taking his entire cabinet and PDP officials with him. Fintiri stated that the move is intended to serve the developmental interests of the people of Adamawa State. The governor’s defection follows former vice‑president Atiku Abubakar’s own shift from the PDP to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in 2025. The realignment may affect party dynamics in Adamawa ahead of the 2027 elections, and observers expect both parties to adjust their strategies in the state.
