Addressing journalists, Bello and other exco members said their decision was in the best interest of Adamawa State, aimed at aligning with the political direction of Governor Fintiri and promoting stability in the state’s political landscape.
Prior to the PDP state exco’s move, the governor’s commissioners, special advisers, and 14 of the 21 local government chairmen had already left the party.
The officials cited divisions and legal disputes at the national level within the PDP and expressed their intention to align with the Federal Government and support the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
