Fresh political tension is reportedly emerging in Adamawa State, with Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri said to be resisting alleged efforts by Nuhu Ribadu to promote a consensus candidate ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
According to sources familiar with the development, the disagreement has sparked concern among party stakeholders, raising questions about internal democracy and the transparency of the succession process.
The reported rift reflects growing divisions within the party, with opinions sharply split over the proposed consensus arrangement and what it could mean for the political future of the state.
Neither Fintiri nor Ribadu has publicly commented on the claims, and the details surrounding the alleged move remain unclear.
Adamawa, a key political battleground in northeastern Nigeria, has often witnessed intense competition over power transitions, with party unity playing a crucial role in determining electoral outcomes.
