The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has called for an immediate investigation and prosecution of the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Adamawa State, Barr. Hudu Yunusa Ari.
The Commission disclosed this via its Twitter handle following a closed-door meeting with its state commissioners.
INEC said, “At its meeting today, 18th April 2023, the Commission discussed matters arising from the Adamawa Governorship election and decided to: 1. Write to the Inspector-General of Police for the immediate investigation and possible prosecution of the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Adamawa State, Barr. Hudu Yunusa Ari.
“2. Request the Secretary to the Government of the Federation to draw the attention of the appointing authority to the unwholesome behaviour of the REC for further action.
“3. The collation process shall resume at a time to be determined by the Returning Officer. Detailed official statement will follow shortly.”
The development follows Yunusa-Ari’s declaration of Aisha Dahiru Binani, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, as the governor-elect following the Saturday supplementary election.
