He made the attempt in reckless violation of the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), the Electoral Act, 2022, INEC Guidelines, as well as the sensibility of the people of Adamawa State,” said the PDP statement.
The party stated that the conduct of the INEC official confirmed the earlier alarms by the PDP, which demanded his immediate removal from Adamawa.NYSC Portal
Mr. Yunusa-Ari’s action, the PDP said, was subversive.
“We call on the IGP to immediately arrest Yunusa-Ari and make him face the full wrath of the law for his conduct,” stressed the statement.
The PDP noted the pronouncement by INEC headquarters that the action of the resident electoral commissioner was “null, void and of no effect.”
Therefore, the PDP demanded that INEC headquarters immediately direct the state returning officer to conclude collation and announce the results from the polling units.
The party called on INEC to declare the PDP candidate and the incumbent, Governor Ahmadu Fintiri as the winner, “having scored the majority of lawful votes cast.”JAMB Result
