“Any attempt to stop the Convention will be resisted” – Chairman

Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State, who also serves as Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) National Convention Committee, has vowed that any attempt to derail the convention will be resisted.

Reacting to rising tension and threats within the party ahead of its upcoming convention in Ibadan, Oyo State, Fintiri declared that no faction would be allowed to derail the process.

Speaking on the sidelines of convention preparations, the governor emphasized that the unity and survival of the party must come before personal ties.

“I will not place our relationship above this party. Let us not take all our matters to the media—it is becoming too embarrassing,” Fintiri said.

He further added that true party loyalty demands resolving disputes internally rather than engaging in public confrontations.

“If you are a party man, you settle issues within the party. We will not allow indiscipline and blackmail to derail this process,” he added.

Fintiri’s remarks are coming as factions within the party are threatening to sabotage the successful convention of the party due later in the year.

Some factions are protesting the zoning of the presidency to the South while individuals within the party are still aggrieved over their inability to take control.
