Hudu Yunusa-Ari, former INEC REC in Adamawa State.
The Returning Officer, Professor Mele Lamido, had by 9 a.m. on 16 April announced results from 10 of the affected Local Government Areas in the state, which showed that Governor Fintiri was comfortably in the lead. The Returning Office then announced a recess and said the collation and announcement of more results would resume by 11 a.m. that same day.
Two, while INEC ended up doing the right thing by announcing that the declaration of Aisha Dahiru as the winner of the election was null and void and concluded the process which led to the declaration of Governor Fintiri as the winner, its initial decision of merely summoning the Resident Electoral Commissioner and the Returning Officer to Abuja was rather a tepid response to a very bad situation.
Four, it is tempting to speculate on what would have would have happened if Hudu Yunusa-Ari is from another part of the country, say the South-east. Will he still be at large by now despite the fact that it was reportedly flown out by a private jet? It is also possible to speculate on what would have happened if it was Arise or Channel or AIT rather than NTA that televised the illegal acceptance speech by Binani.
