I Acted Within Law In Declaring Binani Winner Of Adamawa Guber, Says Ex-REC - Latest News
“Prior to the declaration, there was an intelligence report made available to me that the two National Commissioners were at the Government House Yola, at 8.31pm on 15/04/2023 Adamawa State and held a meeting with the State Governor, Mr. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri.”
He added that immediately after he declared the results, some PDP supporters beat up two commissioners for allegedly failing to deliver Governor Fintiri and some others in a purported video. Narrating what transpired on that day, he said further that, “In the evening, when I was preparing for state collation, all seats for ICCES members were set and when I got to the place, my name was replaced with that of the Administrative Secretary to take charge of collation. I then asked the National Commissioners to explain why they would exclude me from the process of collating results but there was no explanation.
“Meanwhile, I received reports that the collations at the various centers were left much to be desired. So due to the pressure and the numerous calls I received from party agents and candidates of political parties threatening to cause mayhem for not having confidence in the collation of results at the various collation centers as directed by the National Commissioners, I looked inward and decided to call for all the results from the sixty-nine polling units.
“To avert the impending danger of the delay in announcing the results of the supplementary elections, I received the authentic results submitted by the Presiding Officers from all the sixty-nine polling units and compared them with the results that were uploaded on the IREV INEC portal and I realized that the results on the portal were different because the results on the INEC portal were not signed by me.
