“The PDP salutes the roles played by the International and domestic election Observers, the Media, Organized Civil Society and indeed all well-meaning Nigerians in ensuring that the mandate of the people of Adamawa State freely given to the PDP and our Candidate, Governor Fintiri, was not hijacked by APC supplanters”

“Indeed, Nigeria has just been rescued from descent into the abyss. We have just has dodged another bullet”
“We commend INEC for redeeming itself and hopes that this is a harbinger of things to come. It is in this regard that the Commission is requested to promptly re-visit all other elections where infractions have been identified. Where the matters have been taken to the Tribunal, INEC should assume a garb and toga of neutrality and inform the Tribunals of the actual events that transpired in the elections”
“It has been shown by today’s development that INEC can reverse itself where mistakes have been made PDP Governors advised Governor Fintiri to continue to justify the mandate and trust of the people of Adamawa State.
