President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the suspension of Hudu Ari, the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner who illegally declared Aisha Dahiru as the winner of the Adamawa governorship election. This declaration caused confusion in the polity until the INEC headquarters declared it null and void.

Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has since been declared the rightful winner of the election by INEC.

Furthermore, the INEC headquarters has recommended the suspension and investigation of Mr Ari.

In response, on Thursday, Willie Bassey, the Director of Information at the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, issued a statement that Mr Buhari has directed the immediate investigation and prosecution, if found liable, of Barr. Hudu Yunusa Ari by the Inspector General of Police.
