By Mohammed Ibrahim
Dr Salihu Bakari Girei, Gubernatorial aspirant under the platform All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027 described the defection of Governor Ahmadu Fintiri to the ruling party as a welcome development at the right time for the party’s victory in 2027 General Elections at the national and sub national level.
Dr Girei who is one of the founding fathers of the APC in the state stated this in an interview with the newsmen in Yola.
He said, Gov. Fintiri joined APC at the right time considering his outstanding performance in the state in line with President Tinubu’s transformation agenda.
He added that the defection will add value for APC and to also help deliver dividends of democracy for the ordinary people that are yearning for good governance as well as to Fasttrack development.
He said Fintiri performed credibly well and when given the mandate, he would do well for rapid development of the state in line of his 10 points agenda.
Dr Girei further lauded President Bola Tinubu for his laudable effort and was strategic in addressing Nigerian challenges for repid development.
He said, “President Tinubu is very strategic in addressing Nigerian challenges and whoever that has understood that Mr President has meant well for this country and has already turned this country into a better place for people’s life”.
According to him, records have shown that the dollar has crashed, the economy stabilized, security have improved food is affordable and issues of strikes are no more among others.
Bakari-Girei said, all these are factors that naturally attract people joining the APC across the country for more development in the country.
He condemned the saying that President Tinubu is turning the country into a one party system as there was a time when PDP had 30 governors and no one complained.
“Today people have decided to join APC because of many factors initiated by the President Tinubu administration that naturally attacked people to join APC and support Mr President.
He pointed to President Tinubu’s history as governor of Lagos, where opposition platforms continued to function, as evidence of his commitment to multi-party democracy.
He also appreciated the foresight of the President for appointing Malam Nuhu Ribadu, National Security Adviser who has invested much in APC in the state.
He further urged for unity and understanding for the progress and success of the party in the state and country at large.
