Fintiri Declares No Successor Choice for 2027 Elections

On a recent occasion, Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri declared that he will not handpick his successor for the upcoming 2027 elections, asserting that the choice of the next governor should be made by the people of the state. This statement was made amid rising political tensions and growing interest from various aspirants for the gubernatorial position.

Fintiri's remarks were delivered during a high-level stakeholder meeting at the Government House in Yola. He emphasized his intention to remain neutral as the political race gains momentum, highlighting the importance of democratic leadership and the need for candidates to earn the trust of the electorate rather than relying on endorsements from political godfathers.

Fintiri reassured party members that the political field would remain open and fair, reinforcing the principle of internal democracy as a key element for sustaining stability within the party in Adamawa State.
