Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State says the act of Hudu
Ari in seeking to manipulate the outcome of the just concluded governorship
election in Adamawa State, is an embarrassment to Bauchi State where Hudu comes
from.
Bala, who spoke to newsmen in Yola when he paid a
congratulatory visit to his Adamawa State counterpart, Ahmadu Fintiri, after
Fintiri’s reelection earlier on Tuesday, stressed that Hudu’s kith and kin back
home are depressed by his action.
“For us in Bauchi we are highly embarrassed and disgruntled.
We feel ashamed that one of our own came and perpetrated this action,” Governor
Bala Mihammed said.
He described corruption, which is believed to have driven
Hudu’s action, as a condemnable act that must be rejected by every right
thinking person.
“Corruption is temporary and whatever is gotten through such
means will not stand,” he asserted.
He urged fear of God and adherence to playing the game by
the rules, and commended Governor Fintiri for staying true to himself and
believing in God and the people through which he emerged victorious.
Hudu Ari stepped into much national infamy on Sunday when he
declared winner of the governorship election in Adamawa State when collation of
results had not been concluded.
He declared as winner the APC candidate, Sen Aishatu Ahmed
Binani, who was not even in the lead at the time and was never in the lead
anytime throughout the collation exercise.
As the state Resident Electoral Commissioner, he was not
empowered by law to declare results nor announce winners.
His act was immediately dismissed by INEC which on Tuesday
concluded the result collation and declared PDP’s Ahmadu Fintiri as winner.
