Governor Fintiri Expresses Confidence In Tinubu, Receives Warm Welcome From APC
Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, The governor of Adamawa State, has reaffirmed the unity, strength, and commitment to delivering on party promises to Nigerians, while expressing confidence in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s prospects ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Fintiri made the remarks on Wednesday, March 4, during a courtesy visit to the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Secretariat, where he was formally welcomed into the party.
Addressing recent political and economic developments, the governor acknowledged that the President’s microeconomic reforms were initially difficult due to their wide-reaching impact. However, he stressed that the positive effects are now becoming increasingly visible.
According to him, Nigeria is firmly on the path of recovery and transformation, with measurable results emerging from what he described as tough but necessary decisions.
“There is light at the end of the tunnel,” he stated, adding that the Renewed Hope Agenda is gaining traction across key sectors of the economy.
Fintiri also reaffirmed the unity and strength of the APC, expressing confidence in President Tinubu’s prospects ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Welcoming the Adamawa governor into the party, APC National Chairman, Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, described his defection as a significant boost to the party’s growing influence.
The chairman praised Fintiri’s governance record, particularly his focus on coordination, development, and impactful projects in Adamawa State, noting that it aligns with the progressive ideals of the APC.
“We welcome him to where he rightfully belongs. He is a progressive with a progressive mindset, and the APC remains the natural home for leaders committed to reform, development, and national renewal,” the chairman stated.
On opposition politics, the APC maintained that it is not the responsibility of the ruling party to strengthen or organize opposition groups.
“Democracy is competitive. Our duty is to deliver good governance and win elections based on performance. The opposition must organize itself,” the party said.
The chairman also cited recent by-election victories across the country as evidence of growing public confidence in the APC and its leadership.
He reaffirmed the party’s commitment to sustaining the gains of the Renewed Hope Agenda and ensuring that its benefits are felt by all Nigerians.
