**Tinubu's Party Celebrates Big Win in Atiku's Home State** The recent defection of Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has set tongues wagging in the nation's capital. This significant move has been hailed by the ruling party as a major coup in its bid to expand its influence across the country. Fintiri's decision to join the APC was seen as a huge blow to former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, who has been eyeing the presidency in the upcoming elections. As a native of Adamawa State, Atiku's grip on the state was seen as a strong foundation for his presidential ambitions. However, with Fintiri's defection, Atiku has lost his most crucial stronghold in the state. In the aftermath of Fintiri's defection, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, took to social media to mock Atiku, urging him to reconsider his ambitions. According to Onanuga, if a politician is not popular in his home state, he has no business vying for higher office. He went on to suggest that Atiku should retire from politics and relocate to Dubai, his so-called "second home". The comments by Onanuga have sparked a heated debate on social media, with many calling for Atiku to prove his popularity in Adamawa State. Others have questioned the timing of Fintiri's defection, wondering if it was a calculated move to weaken Atiku's presidential bid. As the 2024 presidential election draws near, one thing is clear: the stakes are high, and the battle for the presidency is heating up. With Fintiri's defection, the APC has gained a significant advantage in the North-East, a region that has been a stronghold for the PDP. As the parties gear up for the election, one can only wonder what the future holds for Atiku's presidential ambitions.
