In a move that has stirred both amusement and reflection, Mohammed Bakari Tukur, the Senior Special Adviser to Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, took to his X handle to share a rather striking image of the former Adamawa State INEC Commissioner. The commissioner, now infamous for his controversial attempt to declare the APC governorship candidate, Binani, as the winner in the 2023 elections, is depicted with a wide-eyed expression that has quickly gone viral.
Alongside this image, Tukur delivered a statement that has resonated with civil servants across Adamawa State: “The Adamawa State civil servants are shocked as they become the first to enjoy the N70,000 minimum wage. Kudos to Governor Fintiri. Just imagine if this had succeeded🤔🤔.” The post, while humorous in tone, carries a weighty message about the triumphs of the Fintiri administration and the potential consequences had the election controversy unfolded differently.
Governor Fintiri’s successful implementation of the N70,000 minimum wage has indeed taken many by surprise, marking a significant victory for his administration. The juxtaposition of this success with the embattled former INEC commissioner’s image serves as a potent reminder of the challenges the administration has overcome. Tukur’s post subtly invites the public to reflect on what might have been, had the former commissioner’s illegal declaration stood.
The reactions on social media have been swift and varied, with many praising Governor Fintiri for his leadership and commitment to the welfare of civil servants. The viral nature of the post underscores the deep-seated relief and satisfaction among the state’s workforce, who now see themselves as the beneficiaries of a historic wage increase.
As the image continues to circulate, it not only encapsulates a moment of political satire but also reinforces the narrative of a government that has fought against the odds to deliver tangible benefits to its people. In the end, Tukur’s post is more than just a humorous jab—it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Fintiri administration to uphold the democratic will of the people and prioritize their well-being.
