The Governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Fintiri, and the Deputy Governor-elect, Prof Kaletapwa Farauta, have received their certificates of return on Wednesday at the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja.
The presentation of the certificates to the newly re-elected governor and his new deputy was at about 5pm.
Recall that Fintiri on Tuesday emerged winner of a drama-filled supplementary election in Adamawa State.
In last Saturday’s rerun, Fintiri, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), polled 9,337 votes defeating Senator Aishatu ‘Binani’ Dahiru of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who scored 6,513 votes.
At the end of the entire exercise, Fintiri polled 430,861 votes, defeating Binani who got 398,738 votes.
The announcement was however preceded by political intrigues and betrayal by INEC REC who declared results not following due process.
