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.

Former Vice President ABUBAKAR ATIKU has called on the Governors to stop waiting on the federal government to make changes that may not happen anytime soon to solve the myriad of problems bedeviling the country.

Instead, ATIKU asked leaders to convene a National Unity Summit of all Nigerian Governors to iron out the thorny issues affecting the destiny of the nation and figure out a way to resolve them.
ATIKU made the call in a personal post titled "Nigeria Is Drifting: We Must Stop Waiting For Godot", made on his Facebook page.

He however said that the people, irrespective of their tribe and religion must be committed to the indivisibility of the country.

ATIKU called on the men of goodwill among whom were the Governors to jettison their party sentiments and work for the unity and progress of the country.
