The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Aisha Dahiru, popularly known as Binani, as winner of the Adamawa Governorship election.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner of Adamawa, Prof Hudu Yunus Ari, declared Binani as winner midway into the collation.
The Informant247 gathered that the results from 10 out of the 20 local government areas had been declared while the exercise was adjourned till 11am.
However, Ari made pronouncement an hour before the scheduled time.
Meanwhile, Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was leading before the pronouncement was made.
However, some PDP supporters in the hall had protested why the announcement was made by the REC instead of the returning officer.
