The Adamawa State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has strongly condemned the official results of the recently concluded governorship election, calling it an act of “daylight robbery.”
In a press briefing held at the PDP state secretariat in Yola, the party urged its members to promptly pursue legal action. The briefing was led by the Adamawa State PDP Chairman, Barrister Ahmed Shehu, alongside other state party executives.
Shehu expressed full support for the position of the PDP’s National Chairman, Umar Damagum, and the party’s governors, stating that the election in Edo State was severely compromised.
The chairman emphasized that the Adamawa chapter stands by the results presented by Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, the chairman of the Edo PDP National Campaign Council, which showed that the PDP candidate, Dr. Asue Ighodalo, had secured the majority of votes.
“We strongly condemn the desperation displayed by the All Progressives Congress (APC), which resorted to violent manipulation and other extreme tactics to undermine the will of the people of Edo,” Shehu said.
He added that the “daylight political robbery by the APC” is a threat to Nigeria’s democracy and may in particular worsen growing political apathy.
“We wish to state that we are solidly behind our national party leadership taking any legal measure to ensure that the stolen mandate in Edo State is retrieved,” he said.
