The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has disqualified the Acting Governor of Adamawa State, Umaru Fintiri, from contesting the state’s October 11 governorship election as its candidate.
The PDP said Mr. Fintiri, who took over as acting governor after the impeachment of Governor Murtala Nyako in July, is ineligible to participate in the party’s September 6 primaries.
The Chairman of the party’s screening panel, Ibrahim Mantu, who briefed reporters at the end of a screening Saturday, said Mr. Fintiri was disqualified on “moral grounds”.
Mr. Mantu spoke at the national secretariat of the PDP in Abuja.
Acting Governor Fintiri has faced mounting criticisms over his decision to contest the election to replace Mr. Nyako, whose removal he spearheaded.
Other PDP candidates for the poll have accused him of staging a “coup” and lacking the moral right to contest.
On Saturday, loyalists of the ousted governor vowed to present evidence showing Mr. Fintiri had decamped to the APC.

BREAKING: Adamawa Governorship Election: PDP disqualifies Acting Gov. Fintiri http:///twlWOXVhV4

Nonsense...is this free and fair?

BUT why

The deal has been done by pdp.They have already crowned Ribadu as the next gov. Of Adamawa State....it's better they tell other contestants not to waste their time and money!

Marwa vs ribadu, APC still in troblue !

Its a game of the favoured and not the qualified. But Rica may turn out to be a bad option.

nice move by PDP

a person who shoots another does not perform d surgery to extricate d bullet

meanwhile triplicated thread

Sorry for him honestly!

Why is your "source" saying "invalid address"?

Dreal1247: Its a game of the favoured and not the qualified. But Rica may turn out to be a bad option.

favor is the qualification

Firefire: BUT why

First it is morally wrong fopr fintiri who masterminded Nyako's outer to succeed him ,it will set a very wrong prescedent for other speakers to follow !

Adamawa north has produced 2 governors Nyako who is also from adamawa north has spent about 8 years including the earliar elections cancelled
It is only fair to allow other regions of adamawa to govern the state

Nyako is from the southern senatorial district and not north please. PDP have thrown away a good opportunity to have a clean win by disqualifying the acting governor. the guy is got real support from the masses

Loyalty is paramount in politics and in any facet of life. So u need to be loyal to succeed in life. Not loyal to Nyako, he taught he will get one in return

Hmmmm

Serves him right. This is what you get when you egotistically blow off another man's candle so that yours can shine. Too zealous and ambitious.

Why can't PDP allow a level playing field to test the supposed Popularity of each of her candidates?
What kind of politics are we playing?

Plus, In another here in "PortHarcourt" that Stand-up Comedian Daniel de humorous wa. Allegedly shot at different times but survived and With injuries'- All because he wants to contest for House of Assembly seat

Season 2, episode 3.

The man's face looks like Omisore's. There's something about both faces that just sets me off!!

Nemesis!

msmon: Nemesis!

That's the right word. Karma is a biatch.

if fintari contest and win, it will become a wrong precedent for other speaker, i.e if you dislike your governor remove him from office and contest to replace him. and the problem will become worst in state why the governor and speaker are from different tribe or religion
