Adamawa House Of Assembly Falls To APC As Speaker, 14 Others Dump PDP

By Adesina Soyooye

The signs are strong that Adamawa State and its Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, will, very soon, go the way of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

For weeks, speculations have been strong that the Governor will drive a final nail in the Political relevance of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar by defecting to the APC.

A few days ago, the Governor gave more than an inkling that he could be headed to the APC when he said he would do what Adamawa people want to him to do.

The journey to clear the way for the Governor to dump the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, began on Wednesday, February 24, when the Speaker of the Adamawa State House of Assembly, the Rt. Hon. Bathiya Wesley, and 14 other Members of the House dumped the PDP and defected to the APC.

The defection took place during plenary Wednesday.

With the defection of the 15 members, including the Speaker, not a few people have already taken it for granted that Governor Fintiri is already knocking on the door of the  APC. When that happens, the opinion is that Atiku’s flak will be left open, unprotected.

A few weeks ago, his own son defected from the PDP to the APC, and promised he would work seriously to see to the reelection of President Bola Tinubu for a second term in office.

For the records, Atiku is a Presidential aspirant under the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
