Daji Sani in Yola

The Adamawa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC)  has vowed to join Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of the ruling Peoples Democratic party (PDP) in the state to prosecute those who connived with the suspended Resident Electoral Commissioner, Hudu Yunusa-Ari to Illegally Declare winner of the 2023 governorship polls while result collation was still ongoing.  

Chairman of APC in the state, Idris Shuaibu made the remark sequel to the recent broadcast by Fintiri when he talked about prosecuting those who connived with Hudu to make the state go through embarrassment.

The governor said, “As for those who connived with the REC to make us pass through those democratically embarrassing moments, l want to assure  you once again that we owe it a duty to prosecute all of them according to the dictates of the law. This is the only way we can protect our electoral process and democratic culture from undue abuse.”

According to him, the party has set up a committee to join Fintiri to unravel those who were behind the unfortunate situation with the REC to put the state into a political crisis and uncertainties.

“Any member of the APC that is found having hand or aided Hudu in any way to do what he did, no matter their  status, the APC has resolved to deal with them in accordance with the dictates of the law of the party and we also agreed to join hands with Governor Fintiri to prosecute them according to electoral laws,” he said.

He, however, disagreed with the governor that  Adamawa was a state for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as affirmed both at the polls and the courts.
He said the governor should not forget that his party the PDP could not form  a two-thirds majority in the state house of assembly and could not actualise any bill without the support of the APC
He added that the APC had the support of the presidency as the ruling party at the top, making it a strong opposition party in the state
