The Independent National Electoral Commission INEC has suspended its Resident Electoral Commissioner REC in Adamawa state, Hudu Yunusa-Ari from office following his illegal declaration of the All Progressives Congress APC Governorship Candidate, Aisha Dahiru Binani as Governor-elect in last weekend’s rerun election.

Consequently, the REC has been ordered to stay away from the office of the commission in Yola, Adamawa state.

INEC in a letter dated April 17, 2023 and signed by its Secretary, Rose Oriaran-Anthony has therefore directed its Administrative Secretary in the state to take charge of its affairs.
