Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, governor of Adamawa State has expressed displeasure over the just concluded Edo governorship election.
In a post on his X handle, he stated that democracy was under attack. He disclosed the accusation of announcing false results levied on him by All Progressive Congress.
Fintiri further lamented the disregard of movement restrictions by APC’s national chairman in flying into Edo State with his private jet which he(Fintiri) termed a shameful act.
His post reads, “I weep for Nigeria’s democracy after witnessing the shameful Edo Gubernatorial poll. The@OfficialAPCNg‘s desperate attempts to discredit me by falsely claiming I announced results won’t distract from the real issue.
“I merely shared results from INEC’s Irev portal, as collated by INEC from the various Local Government Areas. What’s truly shameful is APC’s national chairman flying into Edo with a private jet on election day, defying movement restrictions, while their Governors used armoured escorts to intimidate voters.”

He noted that Nigerians are unhappy with INEC for neglecting democracy and favoring APC in the election.
“This blatant disregard for democratic norms is the real brigandage. Nigerians are outraged, slamming@inecnigeria for compromising and favouring APC. The reported vote-buying, disruption of collation processes, and suspicious results with more votes than accredited voters undermine trust in our democracy.
“Democracy indeed is under attack. We must condemn this rape of democracy and demand accountability. The world is watching, and Nigeria deserves better,” he added
