Going by the unconfirmed result of the supplementary governorship election in Adamawa State, the PDP candidate, Ahmed Umar Fintiri is already giving bitter pills to the incumbent governor of the state, Jibrilla Bindow who is a member of APC by a wide margin.
The PDP is in a comfortable lead in 16 of the 44 polling units, Fintiri is already leading by close to 3,000 votes polling 3,271 against the incumbent governor who scored 719. The election is holding in 44 polling units in 28 registration areas in the state.
Before the March 9 election was declared inconclusive, Fintiri had polled 367,471 votes while Bindow had 334,995, meaning he was leading by a margin of 32,476 votes — quite healthy considering that ballots cancelled for various infractions amounted to just 40,988.
It also meant Fintiri needs to lose by a margin of roughly less than 8,000 votes to emerge winner of the election.
