Defection: Gov. Wike cautions Adamawa Governor-elect, Fintiri

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has advised Adamawa State Governors-elect Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, not to abandon the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Addressing the Governor-elect, Wike said, “It is important that while we are celebrating your victory, we should be able to let you know that you came through a party and work for the party. Don’t work for your own personal interest.”

Wike further told Fintiri to implement a people-oriented project, adding that it was necessary to consult before taking decisions on the affairs of the state.

He added, “You are representing people, you are not representing yourself. But I have that believe, God willing, you will continue to consult people and some other leaders of your party across the board. It is the key.”

Wike told Fintiri that his victory when soldiers were allegedly involved in the electoral process in Rivers State was because he made consultation with the people and party leaders.
