“My people convinced me to step down as VC.”- Dep Gov Elect

Prof. Kaletapwa Farauta, the Deputy Governor-elect of Adamawa State, revealed that Ahmadu Fintiri, the current Governor, was the inspiration for her decision to step down as vice chancellor of Adamawa State University.

She said this during an appearance on Monday night’s episode of “Politics Today” on Channels Television, adding that Fintiri also played a role in her resignation.

Farauta said, “Life is about taking risks and whatever you do in life amounts to taking risks. I knew that when I left the classroom and university environment to take up being the running mate of a sitting governor, it was either I win or I lose.

“The community prompted me, my people prompted me and of course my boss did.

“I believe that God orders people’s destinies and whatever comes your way is a risk and whatever you take up to do in life, as long as you believe in God, and believe in yourself, God will sort it out with you,” she said.

However, she urged all parties and state citizens to work together for the state’s development.

“We might have hurt each other in the process of politicking. Now, that is over, we should put it behind us as brothers and sisters, mend our fences because the things that unite us are more than the things that divide us.

“If we focus on things that unite us as Adamawa citizens and Nigerians, we will build a better Adamawa State for ourselves and our children yet unborn.”
