Jubilation in Adamawa over PDP’s win, Atiku hails Fintiri

The declaration of the  candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party,  Hammadu Fintiri, as the winner of the  Adamawa State governorship  election on Thursday sparked jubilation in  parts of the state, including Yola and Michika, on Friday.
The Returning Officer for the election, Prof Andrew Haruna, declared  Fintiri as the winner  of the election, having polled 376,552 votes to defeat Governor Jibrilla Bindow of the All Progressives Congress, who got 336,386 votes.
The March 9 election was declared inconclusive, leading to Thursday’s supplementary poll.
At Michika, Shuwa and Madagali, residents trooped out to celebrate Fintiri’s victory,  saying  his success at the polls  would  help  the state.
The governor-elect was a former Speaker of the House of Assembly  and acting governor of  the state after Murtala Nyako was impeached in 2014.
The state chairman of the PDP, Tahir Shehu,  said the  victory was  for Atiku Abubakar who is the party’s candidate for  the  February 23  presidential election.
In an exclusive interview with our correspondents in Yola, Shehu said the party’s  victory  had shown  that  Atiku was in control of his state.
He said, “Atiku Abubakar is a big beneficiary of this victory in Adamawa State. He is the pillar of this victory because he contributed spiritually and morally to it. Seventy per cent of the victory is for him. The victory we  are celebrating  today has its root in Atiku.
“This is to show the world that  the PDP is Atiku and Atiku is the PDP. He is in control of the state despite all they did to defeat him at home.”
The chairman also  said  Fintiri  won the election because  the people  wanted  the PDP  to rule  the state.
