Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has dismissed speculation that he is on his way out of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to All Progressives Congress (APC).
The speculation arose earlier in the week that Governor Fintiri was lobbying to leave his PDP to the opposition APC in the state, but the governor, in a statement released Thursday by his Director General of Media & Communications, Mr. Solomon Kumangar, said there was no substance to the speculation.
The governor said he remains in the PDP and has no plan to leave for any other party.
“The Governor is not contemplating leaving the PDP. He is comfortably leading the party in Adamawa State to achieve development milestones for the people. He remains focused on the mandate of providing good governance to all parts of the state,” Kumangar stated.

According to him, the defection speculation was the work of “social media warriors” and has no basis in reality.
He advised politicians of all persuasions to de-emphasise political partisanship at these critical times of efforts to build an Adamawa State that people of goodwill seek.
“What is most important at this point is for Nigerians of all walks of life to join hands and surmount the challenges confronting the nation,” he said.
