**PDP Loses Ground as Powerful Figures Defect to APC** In a shocking turn of events, Governor Ahmadu Fintiri and his entire cabinet have left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa State. This move has left many wondering if the PDP will be able to recover from this significant loss. In a related development, 25 members of the Osun State House of Assembly, who were elected on the PDP platform, have announced their defection to the Accord Party. This sudden shift in loyalty has raised eyebrows, with many speculating about the reasons behind these high-profile defections. Governor Fintiri, in a statewide broadcast, cited the need to fast-track development and ensure the welfare of Adamawa residents as the reasons behind his defection. However, some analysts have questioned the governor's motivations, suggesting that this move may be a desperate attempt to save his political career. The defection of Fintiri and his team has been met with a mix of emotions in the PDP camp. While some have wished the governor and his team good luck in their new party, others have expressed concern about the implications of this move for the party's future in Adamawa State. The Adamawa State Executive Council has pledged their loyalty to Governor Fintiri, citing his exemplary leadership and commitment to the development of the state. The commissioners have praised Fintiri's governance style, which they say has created a conducive working environment and enabled them to perform their duties effectively. This defection has also been welcomed by the APC, with the party's leaders hailing Fintiri as a capable leader who listens to his people. The defection of 14 local government areas to the APC has further strengthened the party's grip on power in the state. As the PDP struggles to come to terms with this significant loss, one thing is clear: the political landscape in Adamawa State has undergone a major shift. The implications of this move will be felt far beyond the state, with many analysts predicting a major realignment of party loyalties in the months to come.
