The suspended Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Adamawa State, Hudu Yunusa Ari has said he had no regrets over announcing Senator Aishatu Dahiru Binani as the winner of the just concluded Adamawa Governorship election
Hudu Yunusa Ari, who spoke in an interview with BBC Hausa on Tuesday, said he did not regret his decision to announce the results and denied receiving a 2 billion Naira kickback
He claimed the law gave him the power to announce the result adding that he was ready to hand himself over to the Nigeria Police who invited him.
Recall that Ari had announced the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), candidate in Adamawa State as the winner of the governorship election, even while results from the local government areas of the state, were still being collated
.
However, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), immediately annulled the declared result and postponed the announcement.
The electoral umpire after dissociating it self from Ari’s actions, summoned him to the INEC headquarters in Abuja, there were reports, however, that Ari disappeared from radar and had not been seen, since the infamous incident.
