<p>Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, has officially defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), a move that significantly alters the political landscape of the state.</p>
<p>In a statewide broadcast on Friday, the governor announced his departure from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stating that he was joined by his entire cabinet and all state PDP executives.</p>
<p>Governor Fintiri framed his decision as being in the best interest of the state’s development, though he did not elaborate on the specific reasons for the switch.</p>

<p>“This action is for the developmental interest of the people of Adamawa State,” the governor said during his address.</p>

<p>The mass defection comes just days after a major shake-up in the State House of Assembly, where 14 lawmakers and the Speaker resigned from the PDP. While the timing suggests a coordinated political realignment, it remains unclear whether the legislative resignations were a precursor to the governor’s move or an independent development.</p>
<p>Further details on the political implications of the defection are expected in the coming days.</p>
