Speaker of the Adamawa State House of Assembly, Bathiya Wesley and 13 of his colleagues yesterday, resigned their membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP in what is believed to be in preparation for the formal defection of the state governor , Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The resignation of the lawmakers from the PDP according to sources is to smoothen the path for the defection of the Adamawa State governor, who has been showing signs of possibly joining the All Progressives Congress (APC) for some time.

Fintiri and his associates have repeatedly given the indication that they may dump the PDP and join the APC, following the governor’s disagreement with other PDP governors at the last congress of the party in Ibadan, Oyo State.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was also in the state to commission projects done by the Governor recently after which he was reported to have had some political discussions with Fintiri.

The expected defection of Fintiri will bring to 30, the number of APC controlled states in the country leaving the PDP with only three governors, Labour Party, one, Accord Party, one, All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), one.

The speaker announced the resignation on the floor of the House during yesterday’s plenary.

Those whose resignation were announced alongside that of the Speaker include the Deputy Speaker, Mohammed Buba Jidjiwa (Jada- Mbulo), Kefas Calvin (Toungo), Bulus Geoffrey (Leko – Koma) and Haruna Jilantikiri (Madagali).

Others are Kefas Emmanuel, (Song), Ahmed Jingi Belel (Maiha), Hon. Moses Yerima Zah (Michika), Hon. Kate Raymond Mamuno (Demsa), Pwamwakeno Mackondo (Numan), Adun John Alaba(Uba -Gaya), Bulus Kantom (Shelleng) as well as Hon. Musa Mahmud Kallamu (Mayo Belwa), Japhet Hammanjabu (Verre).

The member representing Lamurde state constituency, Bauna Myandiasa was conspicuously absent during the session.

Speaking to journalists on the development, Chairman, House Committee on Information, Mahmud Kallamu said that those that resigned are making consultation with their people which will determine the political platform they may join soon.

Kallamu said the decision of Governor Umaru Fintiri would determie the next step they would take.

Also reacting to the move ,Mohammed Abdullahi, Public Relations Officer of the All Progressives Party,APC, in the state said that what is happening in the political arena shows President Bola Tinubu’s government is attracting all including members of the opposition.

Atiku Abubakar being stripped nakked one wrapper at a time. Tinubu, shey na Juju you dey use.

It was Goodluck Jonathan for President posters that littered Abuja the other day. The Otuoke failure too started attending meetings with fellow failures including David Mark, Jerry Gana, Rauf Aregbesola, Rotimi Amaechi. Tinubu got angry and sent his boys to Bayelsa to move ever living and non living thing to APC, even Jonathan’s shirts and trousers were moved to APC, that was how Jonathan was stripped nakked at the market square.

Kwankwaso too thought he is somebody until Tinubu moved all his followers including Kwankwaso’s daughter’s husband whom Kwankwaso imposed on Kano as governor, that is how rain started beating him nakked in the cold.

Rauf Aregbesola, El-Rufai, Rotimi Amaechi and some other clowns have been stripped nakked at the market square long ago.

Shey Tinubu dey use Juju ni? Atiku Abubakar, take heart.

Let’s wait and see now. I just surf the net to see say APC don hijack opposition parties ooo. And these governors are banking on APC rigging machines. You know what I fear? ADC has not revealed any of their plan yet. They are patiently waiting for the dust to settle. Don’t underestimate the people’s voice ooo. A wise person can make calculated mistake at times.
