The Governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Umaru Fintri has won the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship primaries in the state.

The state governor won with a total of 663 of the 668 votes, with five of the votes declared void.

An elated Fintri appreciated delegates, party leaders and elders at what he described as “a defining moment for our great party in Adamawa State”.

“We demonstrated our anger at the way we were governed by the party in power in the State at that time. We made a collective resolution to take back our state

from the All Progressives Congress (APC) whose performance in governance was

far below any acceptable rating,” he said

“That resolution was what made you entrust the flag of our great party to me as your candidate for the 2019 general election in the State. I carried the flag with pride and led us to victory in the 2019election.”

He remarked that the PDP disregarded his affluence in casting their votes as it showed the party’s commitment to a free and fair electoral process.

“The decision you took could only happen in PDP – a party with deep democratic

roots. It is only in PDP that such a decision could be made in an open election

where a of my political background could emerge as the party’s flagbearer,” he also said

“You trusted me to lead the onslaught not because I was the richest of all the

aspirants or for any pecuniary consideration. You didn’t even care about where I

was coming from or the faith I profess. You entrusted your mandate to me.”

Addressing indigenes of the state of his commitment, he said “I want to sound that this is the beginning of the journey to the 2023 election. The PDP as a party has done its part today. My humble request to you as always is to join us and repeat this beautiful decision in 2023 by voting the PDP all the way. Never go back to deceit and lies. There is nothing new that the APC will tell you.” (Channels TV)
