The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has stated that it intends to inform Nigerians of its final decision about the suspended Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, Hudu Yunusa-Ari.
The suspended REC, Yunusa-Ari, sparked outrage in the country when he pronounced Aisha Binani the winner of the Adamawa governorship rerun election in April without having completed the electoral process.
The INEC headquarters instantly ruled his action null and unlawful, and he was later detained by police.
The Commission then certified the current Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the genuine victor of the election.
In an interview with Channels Television Politics Today on Thursday, INEC spokesperson Festus Okoye claimed the police had completed their investigation into the situation.
When asked if a decision had been made, Okoye stated that the Commission will soon inform Nigerians of its stance.
He said, “The Commission will soon take action in the case of its suspended REC in Adamawa State, Hudu Yunusa-Ari.
“When asked whether INEC has enough evidence to establish a case against Yunusa-Ari, Okoye said, “Yes.”
