Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has cast his vote in home town, Madagali, in the ongoing Adamawa State local council election.
The Adamawa State Independent Electoral Commission, ADSIEC, is conducting the poll for the election of chairmen and councillors for the state’s 21 local government areas.
The governor, who voted at his Kirshiga Ward 004 polling unit in Madagali, later told journalists that he was happy with the conduct of the election.
In the election which started late across most polling units in the state, the state Deputy Governor, Professor Farauta Kaletapwa, cast her vote in Numan, 70 kilometres south of the capital city, Yola.
The deputy governor also said she was satisfied with the peaceful conduct of everyone involved in the election process.
She expressed optimism that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, would be victorious in the election across the state because of the many development projects of the PDP-led state government.
Arogidigba Global Journal had earlier in the week reported that the leading opposition party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, as well as another major party, the Social Democratic Party, SDP, boycotted the election.
The two parties which expressed dissatisfaction with how the state electoral body, ADSIEC, was constituted, sad they could not trust the agency to conduct a credible election.
Twelve political parties are participating in the election.
