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.”

Following the conclusion of the 2023 presidential elections, the newly elected president, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, recently returned to Nigeria after a 32-day vacation in three nations, declaring that he is strong and prepared to get things started.

With his wife Oluremi and son Seyi, Tinubu arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja at around 4:30 pm. His supporters, party stalwarts, and members of his ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, including members of the now-disbanded Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, cheered him on.

The ex-governor of Lagos State, who was clearly overjoyed, pleaded with Nigerians to disregard rumors regarding his health.

Tinubu traveled to London, Paris, and Saudi Arabia for the holiday to participate in the lesser Hajj.

While thousands of fans and journalists gathered outside his campaign offices in Abuja’s Central District and the Defence House in Maitama, the President-elect of Nigeria’s official residence, he was driven to his home in Asokoro from the airport in a procession that resembled a carnival.

In order to rest, travel abroad, and perform the lesser Hajj, Tinubu had left the nation on March 22 on a three-nation visit.

According to a statement from the Office of the President-elect, signed by Tunde Rahman, the Vice President-elect, Kashim Shettima, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, the Governors of Plateau and Niger, Simon Lalong and Abubakar Sani-Bello, as well as the former governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Sheriff, were all present at the airport to greet him.

Also at the airport were former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu; APC Deputy National Chairman, North, Senator Abubakar Kyari; Deputy National Chairman, South, Mr Emma Eneukwu; and National Woman Leader, Dr. Betta Edu.

There were also Senators Barau Jibrin, Adeola Olamilekan, Opeyemi Bamidele, Dayo Adeyeye, Sabi Abdullahi and Adelere Oriolowo as well as secretary of the recently-dissolved Presidential Campaign Council, Mr. James Faleke. Mr. Babajimi Benson and Mr. Bayo Onanuga, Director of media and Publicity in the defunct APC Presidential Campaign Councilwere also there.

The President-elect spoke to the gathering that had followed him home, “I am glad to be back. I’ve had a nap. I feel revived and prepared for the work at hand. Forget whatever you may have heard in the rumor mill. I am a really strong person.

When questioned about his goals for the nation, he stated that he had been planning and consulting in order to assemble a solid team so he could get started right away after taking office on May 29.
