PDP Congratulates Gov. Fintiri on Supreme Court Victory

…Says Verdict Victory for Democracy, Will of the People of Adamawa State

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has congratulated Adawama State Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri on the judgment of the Supreme Court which reaffirmed his victory at the March 18, 2023 governorship election.

PDP in a congratulatory message issued by the Party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, Wednesday, noted that the verdict of the supreme court was in line with the expectations of Nigerians.

The statement read: “The judgment of the Supreme Court, the highest and final court in the country serves as an iron-cast stamp in validating the triumph of the expressed will of the people in resisting various attempts by undemocratic and anti-people forces to subvert the electoral process and illegally take over control of the state.

“The spur-of-the-moment celebration across Adamawa State and other states of the federation at the news of the Supreme Court Judgment clearly shows that the verdict is in line with the expectation of Nigerians and particularly the people of Adamawa State in their quest to sustain transparent, development-driven and people-oriented leadership as epitomized in Governor Fintiri and the PDP.

“The PDP is delighted by Governor Fintiri’s unprecedented life-changing legacy achievements in citizen empowerment, human capital and infrastructural development projects which have turned the state around as a development hub and for which he was overwhelmingly re-elected by the people of Adamawa State.

“The PDP restates its demand for the prosecution of the suspended Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Mallam Hudu Yunusa Ari, over his alleged complicity in the plot to forcefully manipulate the outcome of the March 18, 2023 Governorship election in the State against the Will of the people.

“Our Party appreciates and salutes the people of Adamawa State for their courage and resilience in standing with Governor Fintiri and the PDP in defending their mandate to the end.

“The PDP charges Governor Fintiri to continue in his delivery of good governance in the State in line with the policy thrust, vision and manifesto of the PDP.”
