Ahmadu Fintiri, the governor of Adamawa State who rose to power on the ticket of the PDP, came dangerously close to losing his life on Saturday when a truck travelling too fast struck two of the vehicles in his convoy.
The incident took place not long after the governor and a few of his commissioners boarded a black Mercedes bus after attending a wedding at the Agga Mosque in Yola, the state capital, in the affluent Dougirei neighbourhood.

The driver was swiftly transferred to a Toyota jeep and fled the scene after receiving a personal reprimand from the governor, who was unharmed.
This development occurs just one day after the governor won in court after the Supreme Court dismissed a case that had challenged his eligibility to run for governor in 2023.
