Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of
Adamawa State has said he can give his life for the good of the State.
The governor said this on Monday
at a reception organized for him following his victory at the Governorship
Election Petitions Tribunal on Friday.
Fintiri who had travelled out of
the State before the tribunal dismissed the petition filed against him by the
opposition All Progressives Congress (APC), returned on Monday to a huge crowd
of supporters from the 21 local government areas of the State.
Addressing the crowd at the
Mahmud Ribadu Square in Yola, the governor said he had been further motivated
by the tribunal’s affirmation of the people’s mandate.
He said, “I’ll continue to ensure
good dividends of democracy. We’ll continue to ensure that children of the poor
go to school without paying a dime.
“We’ll continue to ensure that we
build good governance down to the grassroots, including giving the local
governments their autonomy. This is why within the first four months of being
sworn in, I have made sure that we begin the process of giving you democratically
elected government at the local council level.
“This is what you have elected me
to do and I can’t do less. I’ll put my life for the survival of Adamawa State I
will put my life for the good governance of Adamawa State.”
