Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri cast his vote in the ongoing Adamawa State Local Government elections and described the election process as credible.
The Governor cast his ballot at polling unit 001 in Kirchinga, located at Government Secondary School Kirchinga in Madagali Local Government Area.
Fielding questions from journalists shortly after voting, Governor Fintiri expressed delight with the election.
"I am grateful for the manner in which the Adamawa State Independent Electoral Commission (ADSIEC) organised the election," Governor Fintiri said.
"The good people of the state are very happy and there is high participation.
"The high spirits are a delight to see. New leaders will emerge from this process, and we give thanks to God," Governor Fintiri added.
Responding to public expectations for governance after the election, the Governor said the state should expect greater participation by young people and women.
He further stated that government belongs to the people, and his administration will continue to nurture them into good leaders. This, he said, is his dream and will be delivered to the state.
Governor Fintiri announced that by the time his government leaves office in 2027, it will produce vibrant leaders who can take over from him, filled with energy, intellect, and an understanding of the state's diversity.
Speaking separately about the election process at Kirchinga ward, Mrs. Munagur Kulba and Mr. Bukar Joshua expressed their satisfaction with the process. They called on the candidates who will emerge victorious to fulfil their campaign promises and do more for the electorate when they come into office.
Eighteen political parties are participating in the Adamawa State Local Government Elections.
