The purported declaration of Senator Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed Binani by the Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Barr Yunusa Hudu Ari has continued to be an international trending and topical issue in both public and social media platforms.
An Islamic Cleric in a video during a Ramadan Tafsir in Bauchi, Dr. Idris Abdulaziz Bauchi described the action of Yunusa as the 21st-century madness that brought disgrace to the people of Bauchi and his Local Government of origin, Ningi.
Idris lampooned Yunusa for showing a high sense of rascality that undermines the constitution and the electoral act provision to have declared Binani a winner while results are still being collated.
Idris in the Tafsir video recalled how he admonished Yunusa when he was posted newly to Adamawa to fear God and do justice to all people irrespective of religion and tribe.
According to Sheik Idris, he sent an SMS text message to Yunusa after he might have called him severally with no response from him and decided to send him a message like this:
“I’m admonishing you to fear God, consider your age, you barely have many years to spend on earth, you can look around, how many of your mates are alive? Remember the deadly disease you were affected with. Remember you will meet with God on the day of reckoning.
“For this reason do not go your own way, fear God by doing the right thing, and don’t allow anyone to use you for his or her selfish reasons or someone else uses for other people’s (s) interest. If you do that remember you will meet God soon, know this whatever you will get, you will never enjoy it. All I’m saying is fear God”
Sheik Idris worried that Yunusa responded to his SMS messages by saying that ” May God protect us all from wicked and evil leaders” without adhering to his admonitions.
At the moment all eyes are keenly on Adamawa’s rerun election which is under controversies and confusion as INEC has unturned Yunus’s declaration.
INEC through a press statement assured Nigerians that the collation will continue at a sooner later date to be announced
