Sacked Acting Govrnor of Adamawa State ''Ahmadu Fintiri'' Returns As Speaker

             The sacked acting governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Fintiri, has returned to the State House of Assembly as the Speaker.
                Fintiri was the Speaker of the Assembly that masterminded the impeachment of former governor Murtala Nyako in July.

Meanwhile, Fintiri has thanked the people of the state for the ” tremendous support” they gave him during his two months and three weeks’ tenure as acting governor.
In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Solomon Kumangar, in Yola, on Thursday, Fintiri said he had reverted to his position as the Speaker while still pursuing his appeal against his removal as acting governor.
He expressed appreciation to “the youth, women, elders, stakeholders, the political and working class” for their support.
Part of the statement reads,  “Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, who has since resumed office as the Speaker of the Adamawa State House of Assembly, also expresses gratitude to all state legislators, members of the National Assembly, the Peoples Democratic Party, the opposition and the overwhelming majority of the people, who not only shared his vision and zeal of rescuing and emancipating Adamawa State from the shackles of bad governance but rallied together with him to banish tyranny, tribalism and primordial sentiment from adamawa State.
“He pledges his life to the struggle to lift Adamawa State out of the morass in which it has found itself and that the whole issue is not about Fintiri but about Adamawa State.
“He said anyone who takes the democratic revolution that has taken place as personal is being selfish and does not love Adamawa State.”
