Appearing on Channels Television on Tuesday, Fintiri maintained that his relationship with Atiku remains cordial despite his recent move to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

“There is nothing wrong between us. Everyone has simply chosen their political path. I am now in the APC, while they remain in another party,” he said.

The governor also justified his defection, explaining that the decision was made in the best interest of Adamawa State and its people. According to him, political alignment with the party at the centre would bring greater benefits to the state.

“The decision was driven purely by the interest of our people. It’s not just about winning elections; it’s about positioning ourselves to secure more opportunities and advantages for the state,” he stated.

On the 2027 presidential election, Fintiri argued that power should remain in the South, insisting that no Northern politician should contest at this time. He said the South should be allowed to complete an eight-year tenure in the spirit of fairness and national stability.

“Nobody from the North should be talking about contesting for president now. It is the South’s turn, and they should be allowed to complete their eight years if we are serious about the country’s progress and leadership,” he added.
