The incumbent and re-elected governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has claimed the governorship election held in Adamawa was not between him and candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Aishatu Dahiru Binani, but against powerful individuals in Abuja who were bent on imposing a new governor on the people of the state.
He made this claim while speaking on Channels Television’s political programme, Politics Today, on Tuesday night.
Fintiri who spoke via Zoom from Yola said he did not contest against Aishatu Dahiru (Binani) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) but against the “whole system”.
Fintiri was Tuesday evening declared the winner of the 2023 governorship poll in Adamawa.
Declaring the results, the returning officer of the election, Professor Muhammed Mele, said the governor polled a total of 430,861 votes. Binani polled a total of 396,788 votes.
