The 14 members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Adamawa House of Assembly have raised N21 million to buy a nomination form for Governor Ahmadu Fintiri’s second term in office.
Mr. Aminu Abbas, Speaker of the House, stated this to reporters in Yola on Tuesday.
The gift, according to Abbas, was made to ensure that the governor could continue with his development efforts in the state.
“All members of the PDP in the house have now contributed the sum of N21 million for the purchase of expression of interest and nomination form for Fintiri.
“We the PDP members hereby endorse Fintiri for the second term in office, come 2023,” he said.
According to him, the House had previously given Fintiri a vote of confidence for his excellent leadership and commitment to the state’s development.
“The major instrument of the legislative arm is oversight, and we have seen what is going and the qualities of the projects that the governor is working upon; that give us confidence in him.
“We don’t mind what people say as long as Adamawa people benefit,” Abbas said.
