Gov Fintirimakes Case To Prosecute Electoral Fraudsters

 Governor AhmaduFintiri of Adamawa State has made a case for the prosecution of people who willfully perpetuate electoral fraud anywhere in the country.

Fintiri, who was evidently still unable to come to terms at how his opponent in the last election was declared winner when the electoral process was not yet concluded, said in a statewide broadcast on Monday that such brazen act should not go unpunished.

Fintiri, who said the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, was unbiased in its conduct of the elections of last year, however took strong exception to its suspended resident electoral commissioner during the election in Adamawa, Hudu Ari-Yunusa, whose suspension was announced by the Commission after he usurped the function of the returning officer and prematurely declared a winner.

Recall that Hudu had declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress in that election, Senator Aishatu Ahmed (Binani), as the winner while collation was ongoing.

He was suspended by INEC and is currently facing charges over his action.

Meanwhile, as part of his Monday broadcast to Adamawa people, Fintiri who was officially addressing his people for the first time after his Supreme Court victory of last Wednesday, said the favorablejudgment is a motivation for him and other members of his government to serve the people even better.
