The Independent National Electoral Commission has directed the Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Hudu Ari, to stay away from the state office.

The commission gave the directive in a memo INEC/SEC/442/V.II, signed by the Secretary to the Commission, Rose Oriaran-Anthony, and sent to Ari on Monday,April 17.

The memo reads;

‘’I hereby convey the Commission’s decision that you (Barr. Hudu Yunusa Ari), Resident Electoral Commissioner, Adamawa State should stay away from the commission’s office in Adamawa State immediately until further notice.”

The Administrative Secretary has been directed to take full charge of INEC, Adamawa State with immediate effect.

Ari served as the REC for the governorship election in Adamawa State. On Sunday, April 16, he caused confusion when he unilaterally announced APC’s Aisha Dahiru aka Binani, as the winner of the state guber supplementary election. He made the announcement when results from 10 out of the 20 local government areas where the supplementary elections were held were being awaited.
