Honourable Abdulrazak Namdas, the Chairman of the House Committee on Army and a Former Adamawa Governorship Aspirant, has made some intriguing remarks regarding the Adamawa Resident Electoral Commissioner, Barrister Hudu Ari. He’s claimed that Nigerians will owe Ari an apology after the court ruling, owing to the intriguing evidence he’s collected regarding the gubernatorial election, proving Aisha Binani’s victory.
Namdas, however, clarified that he’s not supporting Ari’s dubious methods of proclaiming Binani winner. Instead, he’s noted that the Adamawa REC must have had some incriminating intel on how the election was compromised. As the highest official of INEC from the state, it’s highly improbable that Ari didn’t have access to information on the election’s happenings.
Namdas is convinced that the evidence Ari has gathered is compelling and that Nigerians will see the truth of this after the court’s verdict. It is essential to note that INEC has deployed auditors to ensure impartiality and transparency during elections. Therefore, if an appointee from Abuja comes to Yola, they are not supposed to work in isolation but in conjunction with the INEC commissioner in that state.
Namdas is hoping that Ari’s evidence will exonerate him in court and that Nigerians will realize that he made the right call. The ruling will dictate if Namdas’s predictions are accurate or not.
