Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State stated on Thursday that he is a politician who remains open to new possibilities.
He made this statement while responding to questions from journalists after presenting his 2026 budget to the state House of Assembly.
While he did not outrightly dismiss the speculation regarding a possible defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC), he also refrained from confirming it, leaving room for further rumors.
When asked about the discussions surrounding a defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and when such a move might occur, Fintiri remarked, “I am a grassroots politician. What will happen, when it happens, then you can judge me.”
He emphasized that, for the time being, he could not provide much information, explaining, “I am still working to organize the PDP, which is my party and has provided me with the platform to be here.”
Analysts believe that the governor’s response does not completely dismiss the speculation of his defection to the APC in Adamawa State. However, the ambiguity in his remarks suggests to observers that there may be some truth to the long-held public perception that he could soon join the ranks of governors who have defected to the APC.
