Adamawa state governorship election petition tribunal has upheld the election of governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri in a case brought by Action Peoples Party (APP) challenging his election.
Governor Muhammadu Umaru Jibrilla Bindow as well as other gubernatorial contenders did not file a complaint to challenge the victory of Adamawa State governor elect, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, as elections petitions tribunal begins sitting in Adamawa today.
Fintiri's move to capture the soul of Bindow's strategic support base began shortly after he was announced the winner of the epic contest when he attended the marriage ceremony of the daughter of the state chairman of the ruling party, Ibrahim Bilal.
Nevertheless, his critics argue that the governor’s major problem is the disinclination toward paying salaries to state workers. That, to me, is a legitimate basis for disapproval in the minds of everyday citizens.
Fintiri who addressed the press on his victory Friday afternoon in Yola, said he would need the support and contributions of everyone, including those who contested against him, to discharge his mandate for the good of the state.
Delivering the judgement, Waziri said Eric Theman has not tendered any proof to show that the logo of his party was omitted on the the ballot hence dismissing the case.
