During the launch of a book titled “Fintiri, the Man They Could Not Stop” on Monday, Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule publicly courted Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri to join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), causing some minor political drama.
Speaking at the function, Governor Sule stated he had a “Tinubu infinity cap” ready for Fintiri in case he thought about switching from the opposition to the APC.
Sule claimed that Fintiri’s conduct and ideals align with those of the APC in what seemed to be a combination of lighthearted persuasion and political outreach.
“You have the APC in your DNA,” stated Sule. We’re on the same page with you. I have packed a Tinubu’s infinity cap in case you’re thinking of joining the APC.”
He further mentioned APC’s recent strategic political actions throughout numerous states.
The Nasarawa Governor further remarked, “Your Excellency, the governor, you have seen us going to Delta, Enugu, Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Kano, Plateau, and Taraba States. And who knows, maybe I’ll go on an excursion.
On a more serious note, Governor Sule reflected on the difficulties of leadership, especially in a second term, asking Fintiri to stay focused on meaningful government.
“As a governor in my second term, I understand the weight of leadership. I understand the loneliness of decision-making, and I understand the fortitude it takes to govern with conviction and pressure.
“Leadership is not about popularity at all costs. It is about clarity of purpose, consistency in service, patience, and fear of God,” he said.
