Umaru Fintiri, acting governor of Adamawa state has won the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship primary. Fintiri was favourite to win the primaries
following the exit of Nuhu Ribadu and others from the primaries.
Fintiri won by 60 per cent of the vote cast by over 878 delegates at the poll conducted by a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Dimeji Bankole.
Former Executive Secretary of the Universal Basic Education Commission, Dr. Ahmed Mohammed Modibbo finished second while former military administrator of Lagos state, Brig-Gen. Buba Marwa was placed third.
According to a delegate the poll was free and fair. “The power of incumbency worked for Fintiri who had secured the loyalty and support of statutory delegates like local government chairmen, councillors, and other political appointees.”
A source told The Nation that: “Before the poll, former Political Adviser to the President, Ahmed Gulak, stepped down for Fintiri, making up to four aspirants conceding the slot to the acting governor.”
The candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the 11 October governorship election is expected to emerge on Sunday.
