Fintiri Orders Appointees Aligned With Other Parties to Resign

Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has directed all political office holders serving in his administration who have declared allegiance to, or defected to, other political parties to immediately resign their appointments.

The directive was contained in a public notice issued on Wednesday and made available to journalists by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Humwashi Wonosikou.

According to the notice, the decision is aimed at preserving loyalty within the government and safeguarding the integrity of public service.

Governor Fintiri stated that continued service by appointees who have aligned themselves with other political parties poses a threat to the administration’s objectives.

“Continued service by persons who have aligned with another party poses a clear risk of sabotage, information leakage, and obstruction of policy implementation and party strategy,” the governor said.

He directed all affected appointees to submit their letters of resignation to the Office of the Secretary to the State Government within 48 hours.

The governor further warned that failure to comply with the directive within the stipulated timeframe would attract sanctions.

According to the notice, any affected official who fails to resign within the deadline will have his or her appointment terminated immediately and will forfeit all salaries and terminal benefits attached to the office.

The directive comes amid ongoing political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
