The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has describes 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.
The party said that the spontaneous jubilation of citizens in Adamawa State and across the nation at the official declaration of Governor Fintiri as the rightful winner of the election irrespective of the schemes by the All Progressives Congress (APC) is a confirmation that the PDP and its candidate are indeed the choice of the people.
PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba on Tuesday said that “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 celebrated the courage, resilience and determination of the people of Adamawa State in resisting the APC and compromised INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mallam Hudu Yunusa Ari in their bid to destabilize the State.
The Party also lauded 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.
The PDP praised the roles played by the International and domestic election Observers, the Media, Organized Civil Society and indeed all well-meaning Nigerians in ensuring that the mandate of the people of Adamawa State freely given to the PDP and its candidate, was not hijacked by APC supplanters.
The PDP congratulated Governor Fintiri and the people of Adamawa State and urges 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.
