INEC suspends Adamawa REC following illegal declaration of result
The All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship Candidate, Aisha Dahiru Binani, was declared the winner of the rerun election last weekend, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has suspended Hudu Yunusa-Ari from his position as a consequence.
As a result, the REC has been told to avoid the commission’s office in Yola, Adamawa state.
Independent National Electoral Commission has consequently instructed its Administrative Secretary in the state to assume care of its business in a letter dated April 17, 2023, and signed by its Secretary, Rose Oriaran-Anthony.
Part of the letter reads; “I hereby convey the Commission’s decision that you (Barr. Hudu Yunusa Ari), Resident Electoral Commissioner, Adamawa State should stay away from the Commission’s office in Adamawa State immediately until further notice.
“The Administrative Secretary has been directed to take full charge of INEC, Adamawa State with immediate effect”.
