The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has
disclosed plans to update Nigerians on its final decision on the suspended
Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, Hudu Yunusa-Ari.
Recall that the suspended REC, Yunusa-Ari caused controversy
in the country when he declared Aisha Binani the winner of the Adamawa
governorship rerun election in April, without the conclusion of the electoral
process.
His action was immediately declared null and void by the
INEC headquarters and was later arrested by the police.
The Commission subsequently concluded the election and
declared the incumbent Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, the authentic winner of the poll.
Speaking on Thursday, in an interview on Channels Television
Politics Today programme, the INEC spokesman, Festus Okoye, said the police
have concluded investigations on the matter.
When asked whether any decision had been taken, Okoye said
the Commission will soon make its position known to Nigerians.
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.”
