There was mild drama on Monday as Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State attempted to persuade his Adamawa State counterpart, Ahmadu Fintiri, to join the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
Speaking at a the presentation of a book titled ‘Fintiri, the man they could not stop’, Governor Sule said he came with ‘Tinubu’s cap’ in case Fintiri is thinking of joining the APC.
Sule said the Adamawa governor has the APC in his DNA, stressing that they were on the same page with him.
“You have the APC in your DNA. We’re on the same page with you. I have brought a Tinubu’s infinity cap in case you’re thinking of joining the APC.
“Your Excellency, the governor, you have seen us going to Delta, Enugu, Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa-Ibom, Kano, Plateau and Taraba states. And who knows, this may be an expedition that I’m coming to do.
“On a more serious note, my brother, as a governor in my second term, I understand the weight of leadership. I understand the loneliness of decision making, and I understand the courage 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,” Governor Sule told Fintiri.
