The All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in Adamawa State, Aisha “Binani” Dahiru, on Tuesday dismissed as bizarre and unfounded claims that he bribed officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) with N2 billion to be declared the winner of the state governorship election.
The commission had on Tuesday evening declared Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the winner of the election after he polled 430,861 votes to defeat Binani, who got 398,788 votes in the exercise.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Hudu Yunusa-Ari, had on Sunday stirred controversy after he declared the APC candidate as the winner of the election with only 10 out of the 21 local government areas of the state collated.
