Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), has congratulated Ahmadu Fintiri on his victory in the
governorship election.
Fintiri, who contested on the platform of the PDP, secured
430,861 votes to defeat Aisha ‘Binani’ Dahiru of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), who got 398,788 votes.
In a tweet on Tuesday, Abubakar said Fintiri’s victory was
“well deserved”.
“Thank you to the people of Adamawa and men and women of
goodwill for staying the course in resisting coupists and enemies of democracy
from having their way,” Abubakar wrote.
“The lesson from this
exercise and others is the need for Nigerians to be vigilant and never give in
to anti-democratic forces whose objective is to snatch, run with and undermine
the mandate of the people as freely expressed in their votes.”
Abubakar added that the PDP has “one more major” mandate to
reclaim.
“By the way, it is not yet uhuru as we still have one more
major mandate to reclaim, and together as ONE, we shall accomplish the task for
the good of our country and its people,” he said.
Abubakar came second to Bola Tinubu in the February 25
presidential election.
He, and his party, are currently challenging the election
outcome at the tribunal.
