Fintiri’s Defection To APC Act Of Cowardice - PDP by Ofunaofu(op): 4:02pm On Feb 28
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the defection of Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, as an act of cowardice and a mark of an unprincipled politician.

In a statement in Abuja on Friday, Comrade Ini Ememobong, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, said the move was a clear violation of political principles and morality, and a threat to multi-party democracy and democratic consolidation.

The party stressed that for a person to abandon a platform that provided political coverage for him across many election cycles, at the first sight of slight discomfort, “is unambiguously an exhibition of unrestrained cowardice, and not a mark of a principled politician.”

The PDP said the defection, though long speculated, had attracted several rebuttals from the Governor himself, even as “recent as last week, after the Presidential visit to Adamawa.”

While acknowledging that the defection is well within Fintiri’s legal rights, the party described it as violation of political principles and morality.

“For a person to abandon a platform that provided political coverage for him, across many election cycles at the sight of slight discomfort, is unambiguously an exhibition of unrestrained cowardice, and not a mark of a principled politician.”

The Statement reminded Finitri that history and posterity are the ultimate and unbiased judges of human conduct and are actively recording the actions and inactions of people.

While calling on party members in Adamawa to accept the reality with grace, Ememobong said the true test of a person is during times of inconvenience and contention.

We have a truly alarming epidemic of misnaming in this country. People just wake up, open their mouths, and release whatever word happens to stroll past their brain.

Take, for example, someone boldly describing Fintiri’s defection to APC as cowardice. Cowardice? Of all the words available in the English dictionary, including betrayal, strategy, gymnastics, or even spiritual relocation, cowardice is what you picked?

Call it anything you like, but cowardice clearly missed its flight and should not have arrived at that conclusion.

Mr. Fintiri's defection indeed is a big blow to some people.
They should take it in their stride and move on.

History is written by those who did not die fighting.

An act of cowardice today might become strategic retreat tomorrow.

Liar, do you think you are dealing with illiterates here ?
Who are the people you are referring to as worse?
Is Atiku who deputised Obasanjo when your life was faring much better than now worse than Emilokan?
When Atiku said if he wins, he will privatise NNPC, you were shouting he's corrupt. Now your Messiah win and after spending billions of Naira on PH, Kaduna and non functioning refinery, Ojulari the new NNPC Boss said those the probability of those refineries working is not feasible.
IBJ has said these about four years back.
The people you said are worse than your Messiah and APC have a better knowledge of the economy than your incompetent Party

You think ordinary Nigerians haven’t started “defecting”?

You think ordinary Nigerians are also not defecting?

Are the governors defecting not Nigerians?

Are the house of assembly members defecting not Nigerians?
