Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad,” says an ancient proverb. I agree completely. If you are in doubt, reflect on the bizarre actions of the suspended Adamawa Resident Electoral Commissioner, Hudu Yunusa-Ari.
It will only take a mad man,
destined for destruction by the gods, to pull off a stunt, so foolish and
dangerous, as Yunusa-Ari did on Sunday, April 16, when he usurped the powers of
the Returning Officer to declare Senator Aishatu ‘Binani’ Dahiru, candidate of
the All Progressives Congress, APC, winner of the Adamawa governorship election
even when the results of the supplementary election held the previous day were
yet to be fully collated.
