These were contained in a statement by the Director-General of the Forum, Hon. CID Maduabum in Abuja on Tuesday in which it also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the way it handled the election.

The PDP Govs Forum said; “It is in this regard that the Commission is requested to promptly re-visit all other elections where infractions had been identified.

“Where matters have been taken to the tribunal, INEC should assume a garb and toga of neutrality and inform the tribunals of the actual events that transpired in elections,’’ it said.

The Forum also called on Fintiri to continue to justify the huge mandate and trust of the people of Adamawa.

INEC on Tuesday declared Fintiri winner of the supplementary governorship election in Adamawa having polled 430,788 votes to defeat his closest opponent, Senator Aishatu Dahiru Ahmad Binani of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who polled 398,788 votes.
