The former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, has been dealt a serious blow by the defection of Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), according to the presidency.
According to reports, Fintri stated that other important PDP officials in Adamawa State, including members of his cabinet, joined him in defecting to the APC.
According to Fintiri, the action was necessary to further the development and advancement of Adamawa State.
In a tweet on his verified 𝕏 profile on Friday, Bayo Onanuga, President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, responded to the situation by saying Atiku ought to leave politics and move to Dubai, his second home.
He declared, “Adamawa Governor Fintiri joins the APC, denying President Tinubu’s party access to Atiku’s entire home base.” For Atiku, this is a huge setback.
“Atiku Abubakar, the seasoned presidential candidate, has undoubtedly suffered a significant setback with Fintiri’s defection, as the presidential election is less than a year away.
The state is mostly unaware of his ADC. Given that his governor has transformed the APC into an Adamawa juggernaut, he should definitely reevaluate his aspirations.
“A politician has no business selling his candidacy to outsiders if he is not very popular at home. It’s time for Atiku to think about leaving politics and moving to Dubai, his second home.
