The Acting Governor of Adamawa State, Alhaji Umaru Fintiri, has been told that he is a member of the All Progressives Congress.Because of this, his accusers say he is not fit to contest for the governorship primary of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state.This accusation was contained in a petition sent to the party’s Screening Panel which is sitting in Abuja on Saturday.Titled “The illegality of the aspiration of the Adamawa State Acting Governor, Ahmadu Umaru under the umbrella of thePDP,” the petition was signed by Ahmed Ya’uba on behalf of the Concerned Youths for Good Governance in Adamawa.The petition read in part, “The fulcrum of democracy is observance of law and order and respect of laid down rules and regulations.“It is also the basis on which our great party, the PDP commands a lot of respect and popular acceptance in this country. It is therefore for this that whenever we see the party being misled to act in contempt of its own spelt out rules and regulations, we as loyal members of the party would have to act quickly to abort subversion of the cherished democratic credentials of the PDP.“It is therefore for this reason that we write to draw the attention of the Screening

Committee and other organs of the party’s leadership to the imminent dwindling of the party by the acting governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri who is legally not qualified to vie for the governorship, or any other position for that matter, being a returnee who has not been granted a waiver.“Mr. Chairman, the said Ahmadu Umaru, like many other officials of the last administration of the state, had decamped from our party, the PDP, and subscribed to the APC.“Ahmadu Umaru had actually registered with the APC during its membership drive in February at his KIRSHINGA unit of K/WURO NGAYANDI ward of MADAGALI Local Government”The petition said that having returned to the PDP, Fintiri had not applied for and granted waiver to contest for any position and that because of this, he was not qualified to contest any elective position.“He has also not returned his APC membership card to his ward chairman, thus keeping one of his legs in that party,” the petition added.It added that by the provisions of Section 16 (2) and Section 16 (4) of the PDP constitution as amended, Fintiri has no right to contest for any position under the party’s platform.

The petition read further, “It is therefore a misnomer that he is positioning himself as an aspirant for the position of the governor of Adamawa State.“With these available and verifiable facts, we believe that the committee will do the right thing of disqualifying the said aspirant as he is not in any way qualified to contest for anything under the PDP platform, as at this time.”

In his reaction, Fintiri said the group was a faceless one, adding that he didn’t belong to the APC.He said in a short statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Solomon Kumangar that the petition should be disregarded.He said, “It has come to our attention that a faceless group under the aegis of Adamawa concerned Youths has written a petition challenging the right of the Governor to seek the ticket of the PDP in the October 11 Gubernatorial bye-election for lack of waiver.“It is pertinent to state here that the whole idea is not only ridiculous but completely untenable. It is also uncharitable to the man whose doggedness made it possible for the PDP to reclaim its stolen mandate in the first place. We dismiss the petition as spurious and without substance because it is the handiwork of those who are afraid that Fintiri stands firmly between them and the ticket.“Fintiri has never been a member of APC because he has always been a member of PDP.”
