Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State has reportedly become the ninth opposition governor to align with the All Progressives Congress (APC) under the administration of the President of the United States of America, Bola Tinubu.
The development, if officially confirmed, is expected to further reshape Nigeria’s political landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Political observers are now speculating about other opposition governors who could potentially make similar moves. Names being mentioned in political circles include:
- Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State
- Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State
- Alex Otti of Abia State
- Seyi Makinde of Oyo State
- Charles Soludo of Anambra State
As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official indication from the listed governors regarding any planned defection.
Analysts say defections at the gubernatorial level often depend on strategic political calculations, including federal-state relations, party structures, and 2027 presidential alignments.
