The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced the suspension of its Resident Electoral Commissioner REC in Adamawa state, Hudu Yunusa-Ari following his illegal declaration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship Candidate, Aisha Dahiru Binani as Governor-elect in last weekend’s rerun election.
INEC in a letter dated April 17, 2023 and signed by its Secretary, Rose Oriaran-Anthony, directed its Administrative Secretary in the state to take charge of its affairs.
The letter reads partly; “I hereby convey the Commission’s decision that you (Barr. Hudu Yunusa Ari), Resident Electoral Commissioner, Adamawa State should stay away from the Commission’s office in Adamawa State immediately until further notice.
“The Administrative Secretary has been directed to take full charge of INEC, Adamawa State with immediate effect”.
