INEC REC in Adamawa State, Hudu Ari, declared the APC candidate, Aisha Dahiru, the winner of the governorship election in the state.
The Peoples Democratic Party has called on the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, to immediately order the arrest of the Resident Electoral Commissioner of INEC in Adamawa State, Hudu Ari, for declaring illegal results of the supplementary governorship election in the state.
Observers and party agents who witnessed the declaration alleged that it was made while the results of the election had not been completely collated. Mr Ologunagba said the action was a planned attempt to destabilise democracy and the peaceful co-existence of the country. “The PDP also demands for the immediate arrest and prosecution of the Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner , Mallam Hudu Yunusa Ari, for making such illegal declaration in criminal usurpation of the duties and powers of the Returning Officer, Prof Mohammed Mele, while collation was on-going.”
“This reprehensible criminal conduct of the Adamawa State REC confirms the earlier alarms by the PDP which demanded his immediate removal from Adamawa State following evidence of his complicity and being compromised by the APC and its candidate to manipulate the election in their favour notwithstanding the votes by the people of Adamawa State.
