ADAMAWA AND IT POLITICAL TACTICS; Written by Barrister ABDULRAHMAN NJIDDA YEBBI.
Adamawa State is like a house divided against itself, held hostage by a cabal and unless a leader dances to their tune, governance becomes difficult. Nyako was able to neutralise the influence of the Adamawa Mafia but he fall out with Abuja and the cabal used Abuja to unseat him with Fintiri as the tool.
Fintiri on the other hand, rode on the back of the tiger(cabal) and ended up in its mouth. The worked it out for Ngilari in court not because they like him but because they felt Fintiri is growing out of control.
What led to Fintiri's down fall is his popularity posture which seemed to have posed a serious threat to the survival of elitist wing of Adamawa politics.
Ngilari will have to learn a lesson here, drawing inferences from the lessons of Nyako and Fintiri. The masses seem to have no place in this drama but come in only as spectators who have little or no impact in the political drama unfolding everyday in the land of beauty.
