Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has reprimanded stakeholders in the Adamawa chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for flouting his directives on political appointments.
Tweeting on Saturday, the governor, who seems to be unwavering in his resolve to carry everyone deserving along through proper representation in his political appointments, insisted that any list presented to him by the leadership of the party in the state must meet the laid down criteria he had given.
Fintiri said he would not accept “any mechanically fabricated list from” the leadership of the PDP for appointment in his cabinet.

He said: “I will not accept any mechanically fabricated list from Peoples Democratic Party stakeholders in Adamawa, who disregarded my earlier directives to present their best 11 for political appointment through proper consultations with their constituents.
“It is essential to ensure that everybody is carried along for a proper representation. Any list that does not meet the criteria or instructions I previously laid down will be rejected.”
Back in March, Fintiri faced serious threat to his second term bid from the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Aishatu Binani, who was rooting to become Nigeria’s first female state governor.
