The suspended Resident Electoral Commissioner of Adamawa State, Hudu Ari, will soon to know his fate.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Commissioner for Information and Voter Education, Festus Okoye, disclosed this at the Channels TV’s Politics Today.
“In terms of the issue of the Adamawa REC, you are aware that (former) President Buhari suspended him before he left office and the police invited him to explain what happened,” Okoye said during the interview.
“I am aware that the police have concluded an investigation. In the next few weeks Nigeria will be informed of what happened. Under the law, he should be prosecuted by INEC.
“There is an interface between the Nigerian Police and INEC. The commission was informed of some of the processes and procedures. Very soon the commission will take action on the REC,” he added.
Ari announced the supplementary governorship election results in Adamawa State, while collation was ongoing, thus throwing the whole process into a controversy.
He declared the All Progressives Congress APC governorship candidate Senator Aisha Dahiru Binnani as the winner of the election, which the INEC subsequently upturned.
The development made former President Muhammadu Buhari to direct a probe of all the security operatives involved in the illegal act.
