Ahmadu Fintiri, the winner of the state’s governorship election, has received congratulations from Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed.
Mohammed said the election of his colleague demonstrated that the people of Adamawa trust and have faith in his leadership in a conversation with reporters on Wednesday when he made a congratulations visit to Fintiri in Yola, the state capital.
The governor praised his colleague from Adamawa for remaining loyal to himself and having faith in God and the people who helped him succeed.
Mohammed said the action of the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in the state, Hundu Yunusa-Ari, in an attempt to manipulate the outcome of the just concluded governorship election, is disgraceful and should be condemned by every right-thinking person.
The governor added that the suspended REC is an embarrassment to Bauchi State where Hudu comes from, adding that his kinsmen back home are sad and ashamed of his action.
He said: “For us in Bauchi, we are highly embarrassed and disgruntled. We feel ashamed that one of our own came and perpetrated this action.
“Corruption is temporary and whatever is gotten through such means will not stand.”
Speaking further, Mohammed urged politicians and electoral officials to have the fear of God and adhere to playing the game by the rules without any attempt to manipulate the process.
