In a statement released, the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, congratulated Gov. Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa on his re-election and thanked the people of Adamawa for re-electing Fintiri.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that Fintiri won the election, which went into a re-run, after receiving a total of 430, 861 votes, defeating his closest rival, the All Progressives Congress candidate, Aisha Binani, who scored 398,788 votes.
“The lesson from this exercise and others is the need for Nigerians to be vigilant and never give in to anti-democratic forces whose objective is to snatch, run with and undermine the mandate of the people as freely expressed in their votes.
“By the way, it is not yet uhuru as we still have one more major mandate to reclaim, and together as one, we shall accomplish the task for the good of our country and its people,” Abubakar said.
