Ahmadu Fintiri, Governor of Adamawa State, has revealed his political rift with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

Fintiri stated that their parting was solely due to disagreements in party affiliation.

During an appearance on Channels Television, the governor emphasised that, despite their differing political platforms, he has a cordial connection with Atiku.

According to him, those who are genuinely committed to Nigeria’s progress must recognize one another as partners in nation-building, adding that his political stance is aligned with supporting a southern candidacy.

He dismissed suggestions of any breakdown in communication, noting that political disagreements have not affected their personal rapport.

“There is no strained communication with the former VP as a result of political differences.

“I still have; there is nothing that has gone bad. It is just that everybody has taken their political ways. I am today in APC, they are in another party,” he said.
