PDP Faction Criticizes Fintiri's Defection as Cowardice

The faction of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) led by Tanimu Turaki condemned Governor Ahmadu Fintiri's recent defection to the Rule Progress Congress, describing his exit as an act of cowardice that undermines the principles of multi-party democracy in Nigeria. Ini Ememobong, the PDP's state publicity secretary, emphasized that Fintiri's decision to leave the party, which had been speculated for some time, reflects a lack of political principle and moral integrity.

The announcement of his departure came after a presidential visit to Adamawa State, where Fintiri confirmed his alignment with the new party. The PDP faction urged its members in Adamawa to accept this "sad reality" with composure and remain resolute in their commitment to the party, hoping for a revival that would restore the party's strength in future elections.
