Adamawa: I Apologise For Psychological Trauma, Fintiri Speaks After Election Victory, Begs Supporters
The governor-elect of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Fintiri, has apologised to his teeming supporters for what he described as “psychological trauma” brought upon them by the events that characterised the supplementary poll in the state.
The Returning Officer, Muhammed Melee, declared the PDP candidate winner after polling 430,861 votes to defeat his major counterpart, Aishatu Binani, of the All Progressives Congress who polled 398,788 votes.
In his acceptance speech on Tuesday, Fintiri apologised for the “trauma” the supporters went through during the period.
“Fellow citizens, I must as a politician apologise on behalf of the political class for putting you through this psychological trauma … especially over the last five days,” he told supporters in Adamawa during a press conference shortly after he was declared the winner.
According to him, whoever was responsible for the situation, “that person is still being called a politician, and I take responsibility for it.”
He said he would continue in the trajectory of governance he had started in the state.
While congratulating his co-contenders for their struggle in the governorship race, Fintiri condemned the action of Hudu who had earlier declared Binani as the winner of the election.
Saying the action of the REC “fell below expectation,” he however thanked the people of Adamawa “for voting for continuity.”
