Prepare for loss, Gov Fintiri taunts opponents in guber poll

Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State who is also the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for Saturday’s election, has taunted his opponents to prepare for loss.

Fintiri told the opposition political parties to be ready to accept defeat at the end of the ongoing governorship and House of Assembly Election.

Speaking shortly after casting his vote at unit 004 in Kirchinga Ward of Madagali Local Government Area, Fintiri who is a major candidate, said he was optimistic that he will win the election.

He expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the election up to the time he voted around noon, urging INEC to ensure that the entire process turns out to be credible.

At the guber election, Fintiri faces a major opponent in the person of Senator Aishatu Ahmed Binani who is contesting in the governorship election as a candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC).

Twelve other candidates were registered for the election but six of them had earlier stepped down for Fintiri while one, the candidate of the Labour Party, Umar Mustapha, stepped down for Binani.
