Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the February 25 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission to declare the outstanding Adamawa State governorship election result with immediate effect.
Addressing journalists at his residence in Yola, the State capital, Atiku said it was evident that the PDP had won the governorship poll with landslide, wondering why the delay in declaring the party’s candidate, incumbent Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, as the winner of the exercise.
He urged Nigerians and the international community to mount pressure on INEC to declare the results unfailingly today.
“The attitude of INEC in this State leaves much to be desired.
“They tried to alter the results from Fofure LGA, but even with that PDP had won the election.
“I personally spoke to INEC chairman, Prof. Mahmud Yakubu, to release the results as stipulated by law.
“INEC should announce the results as expressed by the people of Adamawa.
“I see no reason why the delay in the announcement of the results,” Atiku added.
