Governor of Adamawa state, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri stated on his verified Twitter page on Sunday; “I weep for Nigeria’s democracy after witnessing the shameful Edo Governorship poll. The @OfficialAPCNg’s desperate attempts to discredit me by falsely claiming I announced results won’t distract from the real issue.
