Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State is preparing to join the exodus of state governors from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). This move comes as he follows other governors like Taraba's Agbu Kefas, leaving the PDP with only Bauchi State in the North-east region. The political landscape in the region is shifting dramatically as these defections reflect broader discontent within the PDP.

In the lead-up to his potential defection, Governor Fintiri has been in discussions with federal and state legislators from his state, indicating that this decision might not be made lightly. Reports suggest that consultations have been extensive, suggesting he is gauging support for this significant move. Recently, he hosted a delegation from the APC for a Ramadan Iftar, which fuels speculation regarding his intentions as many view the gathering as a strategic interaction to consolidate his future political alignment.

The implications of Fintiri's defection could be substantial for the political dynamics in Nigeria, particularly in the North-east region. As more governors and lawmakers defect to the APC, it may signal a waning influence of the PDP, prompting concerns about political stability and governance in the area. This move could also reshape the electoral strategies ahead of future elections, making the APC a more dominant force in the region if the trend continues.
