Adamawa

The two leading governorship candidates in Adamawa State, Aishatu Ahmed Binani of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Ahmadu Fintiri of Peoples.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the property in question houses the Situation Room of the PDP Presidential and Governorship Campaigns Council for the monitoring, documentation and field location coordination,” the statement said. “The Binani Governorship Campaign Organization is worried that a private residence behind Muna Hotel at Dougirei in Jimeta, Yola, is currently being used allegedly by the Adamawa State candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the March 18th Governorship election, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, to thumbprint and stuff ballot papers in boxes, in a desperate move to rig the ongoing Governorship election,” the Binani group said in a press release signed by Martins Yanatham Dickson, a Member of Media Team of the Binani Campaign Organisation. People in the Binani camp had started the war Saturday evening when they alleged that their counterparts in Fintiri’s camp were using the house in question to thumb print ballot papers and to stuff the papers into ballot boxes.

Furthermore, the DSS, police and several security personnel had this evening stormed the Situation Room in gestapo style and turned the place upside down on the excuse that it was being used for clandestine purposes. The statement read in full. We are calling on the Independent National Electoral Commission to swiftly respond along with the relevant security agencies and stop this ugly and desperate move to temper the integrity of the Adamawa Governorship election”.
