The Adamawa State Government has demanded an investigation by the State Command of the Nigeria Police, following the illegal declaration of the All Progressives Congress Governorship candidate Aishatu Binani as the winner of the 2023 elections
It would be recalled that collation was still ongoing when the then State Resident Electoral Commissioner Yunusa Hudu Ari declared the APC candidate winner which the state government said resulted in the breach of the peace in the state.
In a statement signed by the Press Secretary to the state Governor, Wonosikou said the illegal announcement triggered a crisis across the State.
The State Government in a letter to the State Police Command signed by the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice Afraimu Jingi wants the Police to prosecute for possible prosecution of all those found culpable in the saga and the role played by each.
It also pledged its support to the state police command towards ensuring the logical conclusion of the investigation.
The State Government is worried that Hudu’s action threatened the hard-earned peace that the present administration has built in the last four years.
