‘I Weep For Nigeria’s Democracy’ – Governor Fintiri Condemns Edo Governorship Election

Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, on Sunday denounced the outcome of the Edo State governorship election.

Following the declaration of Monday Okpebholo, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, as the winner of the September 21 poll by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Fintiri expressed deep disappointment.

In a statement, he lamented the state of Nigeria’s democracy, calling the election process “shameful” and saying it brought him to tears for the nation.

“I weep for Nigeria’s democracy after witnessing the shameful Edo Gubernatorial poll. The APC’s desperate attempts to discredit me by falsely claiming I announced results won’t distract from the real issue. I merely shared results from INEC’s Irev portal, as collated by INEC from the various Local Government Areas,” Fintiri said.

“What’s truly shameful is APC’s national chairman flying into Edo with a private jet on election day, defying movement restrictions, while their Governors used armoured escorts to intimidate voters.

“This blatant disregard for democratic norms is the real brigandage. Nigerians are outraged, slamming INEC for compromising and favoring APC. The reported vote-buying, disruption of collation processes, and suspicious results with more votes than accredited voters undermine trust in our democracy. Democracy indeed is under attack.

“We must condemn this rape of democracy and demand accountability. The world is watching, and Nigeria deserves better.”
