Fintiri: Supreme Court Verdict Reflects Adamawa Peoples’ Will – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday said the Supreme Court judgement which affirmed Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State is a triumph of the peoples’ expressed will in resisting various “attempts by undemocratic and anti-people forces to subvert the electoral process and illegally take over control of the state.”

National publicity secretary of PDP, Hon. Debo Ologunagba said this in a statement congratulating Governor Fintiri on the judgement which upheld his victory at the March 18, 2023 governorship election in the state.
The party said the spur-of-the-moment celebration across Adamawa State and other States of the federation at the news of the Supreme Court Judgment clearly shows that the verdict is in line with the expectation of Nigerians and particularly the people of Adamawa State in their quest to sustain transparent, development-driven and people-oriented leadership as epitomized in Governor Fintiri and the PDP.

“The PDP is delighted by Governor Fintiri’s unprecedented life-changing legacy achievements in citizen empowerment, human capital and infrastructural development projects which have turned the State around as a development hub and for which he was overwhelmingly re-elected by the people of Adamawa State.

“The PDP restates its demand for the prosecution of the suspended Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Mallam Hudu Yunusa Ari, over his alleged complicity in the plot to forcefully manipulate the outcome of the March 18, 2023 Governorship election in the State against the Will of the people.

“Our Party appreciates and salutes the people of Adamawa State for their courage and resilience in standing with Governor Fintiri and the PDP in defending their mandate to the end.

The PDP charged Governor Fintiri to continue in his delivery of good governance in the state in line with the policy thrust, vision and manifesto of the PDP.
