The minority caucus of the House of Representatives has described the re-election of Adamawa Governor Ahmadu Fintiri as triumph of the will of the people in the exercise of their democratic right to choose their preferred leader in an election.
In a statement by the Minority Leader, Hon. Ndudi Elumelu, the caucus congratulated the Governor on his victory and for his resilience in standing up against anti-democratic forces.
Fintiri was declared winner of the governorship election after a supplementary election on Saturday, April 15, 2023.
He commended the people of Adamawa State for their resilience in standing with Governor Fintiri and resisting desperate anti-democratic forces that sought to manipulate the electoral process, suppress the Will of the people and impose an illegitimate government on the State.
He said,
“From the results of the main election and the supplementary poll, it was clear that Governor Fintiri remains the clear choice of the people. His ultimate victory further proves that no matter how much falsehood, tyranny and manipulations appear to thrive, the truth will always prevail at the end of the day.
“The Minority Caucus again congratulates Governor Fintiri and urges him to remain focused and continue in his excellent delivery of service, particularly his massive legacy infrastructural development projects and empowerment of citizens for which the people of Adamawa State overwhelmingly re-elected him as Governor.”
