Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, Governor of Adamawa has hailed the judgement made by Court of Appeal declaring Amos Yohanna of People's Democratic Party, PDP as the duly elected lawmaker to represent Adamawa North senatorial district.
Humwashi Wonosikou, the governor's spokesman disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
Recall, the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja had sacked Sen. Elisha Abbo of All Progressive Congress, APC and declared Amos Yohanna as the duly elected senator to represent the people of Adamawa North at the red chamber.
While reacting to the judgement, Gov. Fintiri said the court’s verdict was the ultimate triumph of the will of the people of Adamawa North as expressed at the polling units.
'The judgment of the court has further restored the confidence Nigerians repose in the institution of the judiciary and the hope for the sustenance of democracy in our country,' he noted.
The governor commended the court for its courage in upholding justice and reaffirming the saying that the 'Judiciary is the last hope of the common man.'
According to Gov. Fintiri, the court remains the true arbiter that restores power to the people.
'He stressed the need for politicians to seek power through proper channels and not subvert the inherent power of democracy,' Wonosikou said.
