Sacked acting Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, has returned to the State House of Assembly as the Speaker.
Fintiri was the Speaker of the Assembly, which masterminded the impeachment of former Governor Murtala Nyako in July.
In a separate development, Fintiri has thanked the people of the state for the ” tremendous support” they gave him during his two months and three weeks’ tenure as acting governor.
A statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Solomon Kumangar, in Yola, on Thursday, the ex-acting governor said he had reverted to his position as the Speaker while still pursuing his appeal against his removal as acting governor.
He expressed appreciation to “the youth, women, elders, stakeholders, the political and working class” for their support.
Part of the statement read, “Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, who has since resumed office as the Speaker of the Adamawa State House of Assembly, also expresses gratitude to all state legislators, members of the National Assembly, the Peoples Democratic Party, the opposition and the overwhelming majority of the people, who not only shared his vision and zeal of rescuing and emancipating Adamawa State from the shackles of bad governance but rallied together with him to banish tyranny, tribalism and primordial sentiment from adamawa State.
“He pledges his life to the struggle to lift Adamawa State out of the morass in which it has found itself and that the whole issue is not about Fintiri but about Adamawa State.
“He said anyone who takes the democratic revolution that has taken place as personal is being selfish and does not love Adamawa State.”
On the judgment of the Abuja Federal High Court, which terminated his reign, Fintiri said he would pursue the appeal until it was disposed of, adding that he was sure of victory.
