Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has pledged to prosecute individuals who allegedly colluded with the suspended Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Resident Electoral Commissioner, Hudu Ari, during the 2023 gubernatorial election. Fintiri commended INEC for remaining impartial despite the REC's "irresponsible and unlawful" conduct. He emphasized the need for legal action against those involved to protect the electoral process and democratic culture from abuse. Fintiri called on the opposition and those wanting the state to develop to join his government in taking the state to another stage of development. Ari stirred controversy when he announced Aishatu "Binani" Dahiru as the winner of the governorship during the 2023 general election.
