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.
INEC in a letter dated today, April 17, 2023, and signed by its Secretary, Rose Oriaran-Anthony the former REC has been ordered to stay away from the office of the commission in Yola, Adamawa state pending further development.
