Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has disclosed plans to update Nigerians on its final decision on the suspended Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, Hudu Yunusa-Ari.<\/p>\n

The suspended REC, Yunusa-Ari caused controversy in the country when he declared Aisha Binani the winner of the Adamawa governorship rerun election in April, without the conclusion of the electoral process.<\/p>\n

His action was immediately declared null and void by the INEC headquarters and was later arrested by the police.<\/p>\n

The Commission subsequently concluded the election and declared the incumbent Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the authentic winner of the poll.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Thursday, in an interview on Channels Television Politics Today programme, the INEC spokesman, Festus Okoye, said the police have concluded investigations on the matter.<\/p>\n

When asked whether any decision had been taken, Okoye said the Commission will soon make its position known to Nigerians.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cThe Commission will soon take action in the case of its suspended REC in Adamawa State, Hudu Yunusa-Ari.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen asked whether INEC has enough evidence to establish a case against Yunusa-Ari, Okoye said, \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
