Defection: Fintiri has an inbuilt electoral value; insist an aspirant of the APC that will defeat the governor must come from the moon-Kumangar.

The Director-General media to Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa state, Mr Solomon Kumangar, on Tuesday, said the defection of the member representing Michika state constituency in the Adamawa state House of Assembly, Joseph Ayuba, from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was a great relief to the party.

The Director-general said Mr Joseph was always in opposition to the ruling party, who used his position as a member to frustrate the workings of the government.

Kummangar, in a statement, said Governor Finiri has an inbuilt electoral value as PDP has little or no member in the Adamawa state House of Assembly before the coming on board of the governor, wondering why Joseph Ayuba’s defection will rattle the governor.

“This fellow Joseph Ayuba road on the electoral value of the governor to win in an election in the Adamawa state House of Assembly how can his defection makes one lose sleep, we all know of his desperation to contest Reps for Michika/Madagali is responsible for his defection, however, advise APC to prepare for the implosion that will befall the party in Adamawa. 

“defection is not the problem, but managing the ambition and sharing of political office will scatter them” Mr Joseph had become the greatest obstacle to the government.

Mr Kumangar expressed doubt over the party membership of Mr Joseph Ayuba.

The Director-general said PDP stands to lose nothing with the defection of Mr Ayuba and his loyalists, adding that the party in his native Michika State will grow stronger with the exit.

He also said the leadership of the Adamawa state House of Assembly knows the position of the law regarding defection when there is no crisis, as Musa Bororo’s defection was a result of the problem rocking the party. Still, Ayuba has no justification for his action.
