Exactly one month after the March 18 governorship elections, Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has emerged as the winner of what some might describe as 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, beating 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’s 398,788 votes.
The announcement by the Independent National Electoral Commission yesterday was preceded by a series of intrigues.
