Adamawa State Acting Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, yesterday stormed
the Abuja National Secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
telling party leaders that "I have delivered".
Fintiri went ahead to tell the party chiefs that he had recovered and
delivered the mandate stolen by ousted Governor Murtala Nyako to the
ruling party.
Speaking with reporters shortly after he had a closed door meeting
with some of the national officials of the party, Fintiri said his
emergency as governor had restored the state back to the PDP.
The four-day-old Acting Governor said: "As a loyal and obedient party
member, I came on a courtesy call to my party and the National Working
Committee as my first assignment after the battle to remove Governor
Nyako who had stolen the mandate of the PDP under which he was
elected.
"I came here to bring back the mandate and I have handed over to them
(party leaders) the mandate. I promise that I will work together with
the party, its leadership and the people of Adamawa to ensure that our
party is restored to the people".
The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, stated that
Fintiri would restore dignity to the party as well as address the rot
and the damage caused the party by former Governor Nyako.
He promised the Acting Governor the support and encouragement of the
party's leadership.
The party's National Deputy chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, who
received Fintiri and his team said that the removal of Nyako and the
emergence of the Acting Governor would help address the rot the people
of the state had experienced.
