The Independent National Electoral Commission has issued certificates of return to the Governor-elect of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Fintiri, and the deputy governor-elect, Prof Kaletapwa Farauta.
The commission presented the certificates of return to the duo at its headquarters in Abuja on Wednesday.
Speaking shortly after receiving the certificate of return, Fintiri said that the Adamawa REC, Hudu Yunusa-Ari, who declared the Binani as winner while collation was ongoing should be prosecuted in Adamawa State because the offense was committed there.
Fintiri also said that the security chiefs who connived with the REC should also be prosecuted.
He described the action of the REC and the security chiefs as a crime against democracy.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on Tuesday, declared Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri as the winner of the Adamawa State gubernatorial election.
The electoral body had resumed the collation of the Adamawa State Governorship election results on Tuesday after it suspended it following the scandalous and infamous declaration of the APC Candidate, Aisha Dahiru, as the winner of the
the election before the end of collation.
INEC had since dismissed the declaration and has now resumed the process at the Collation Centre in Yola, the Adamawa State capital.
At the resumed collation of results INEC declared Fintiri, the incumbent Governor of Adamawa State and candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), the winner after scoring 430,861 votes in total.
He had polled the highest number of votes in the supplementary election with 9,337 out of about 16,000 votes cast.
