The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the victory of Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri in the Adamawa State Governorship election as “a momentous triumph for democracy and the will of the people of Adamawa State over tyranny and desperate manipulative forces which sought to take over control of the State illegally.”

This was contained in a statement signed by Hon. Debo Ologunagba, National Publicity Secretary.

The party added: “The spontaneous jubilation of citizens in Adamawa State and across our nation at the official declaration of Governor Fintiri as the rightful winner of the election irrespective of the nefarious schemes by the rejected All Progressives Congress (APC) is a confirmation that the PDP and its candidate are indeed the choice of the people.”

Continuing, the statement said, “Governor Fintiri’s overwhelming victory is a validation that the will of the people cannot be subdued no matter the plot by a tyrannic, domineering and power-grabbing few who, with over-bloated ambition, desperately sought to subvert our democracy, scuttle the electoral process, compromise the judiciary, subjugate the people and impose an unconstitutional regime in the polity.”

The PDP saluted the “courage, resilience and determination of the people of Adamawa State in resisting the defeated APC and compromised INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mallam Hudu Yunusa Ari in their bid to destabilize the State.”

Adding: “Our Party also lauds the Adamawa State Returning Officer, Mohammed Mele for his courage in standing on the side of justice, due process and democracy in the discharge of his duty.”

PDP also commended International and domestic election Observers, the Media, Organized Civil Society and all well-meaning Nigerians that ensured that “the mandate of the people of Adamawa State freely given to the PDP’s Candidate, Governor Fintiri, was not hijacked by APC supplanters.”

Furthermore, the party congratulated Governor Fintiri and the people of Adamawa State and urged the Governor to continue in his landmark transformational delivery of democracy dividends to the people in line with the manifesto, programmes and policies of the PDP.
