Reactions have continued to trail the announcement of the All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate, Aisha Dahiru, popularly known as Binani as the winner of the Adamawa governorship election by the state’s Resident Electoral Commission.
The REC, Ari Hudu, had, according to a trending video, ‘forcefully’ announced the APC candidate winner of the election without full results of the Saturday supplementary poll. It was learnt that results were being expected from 10 of the 20 local government areas where the election held when Hudu made the announcement.
Daily post reports that The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had since distanced itself from the announcement, declaring it void. INEC, in a statement, summoned Hudu and other officials to its headquarters to explain the controversial announcement.
However, many Nigerians took to their social media handles, particularly Twitter, to lambast the APC government, accusing the ruling party of always forcing its candidates on Nigerians.
