“I am not a do or die politician”, she continued, alluding to the past when she won election to the House of Representatives and Senate in a free and fair manner.
According to her, “what happened in Adamawa was an unsuccessful attempt to subvert the will of the people”, she said in the statement on her letter headed paper.
“The REC was illegally told to stand down by two INEC national commissioners from Abuja who were supposed to be in Adamawa in a supervisory capacity.
“Even more curious is the nocturnal visit of the same INEC national officers to Adamawa State Government House and bizarre declaration same day after the visit that they have taken over the collation centre through the back door with the collation and Returning Officer selected by the Governor of Adamawa”, she alleged.
