Catalogue Of Shame As Adamawa INEC. REC. Hudu Yunusa Is Rejected By Kinsman, According To Gov. Bala Mohammed Of Bauchi State

 Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State says the act of Hudu Ari in seeking to manipulate the outcome of the just concluded governorship election in Adamawa State is an embarrassment to Bauchi State, where Hudu comes from.

Bala, who spoke to newsmen in Yola when he paid a congratulatory visit to his Adamawa State counterpart, Ahmadu Fintiri, after Fintiri’s reelection earlier on Tuesday, stressed that Hudu’s kith and kin back home are depressed by his action.

“For us in Bauchi, we are highly embarrassed and disgruntled. We feel ashamed that one of our own came and perpetrated this action,” Governor Bala Mohammed said. He described corruption, believed to have driven Hudu’s action, as a condemnable act that must be rejected by every right-thinking person.

“Corruption is temporary, and whatever is gotten through such means will not stand,” he asserted.

He urged fear of God and adherence to playing the game by the rules and commended Governor Fintiri for staying true to himself and believing in God and the people through which he emerged victorious.

Hudu Ari stepped into much national infamy on Sunday when he was declared winner of the governorship election in Adamawa State when the collation of results had not been concluded.

He declared the winner the APC candidate, Sen Aishatu Ahmed Binani, who was not even in the lead at the time and was never in the information anytime throughout the collation exercise. Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State says the act of Hudu Ari in seeking to manipulate the outcome of the just concluded governorship election in Adamawa State is an embarrassment to Bauchi State, where Hudu comes from.
