The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has suspended its Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Adamawa State, Barr Hudu Yunusa-Ari from office.
Yunusa-Ari’s suspension was due to his “unlawful declaration” of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship Candidate, Aisha Dahiru Binani as Governor-elect in Saturday’s supplementary election.
