Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has made a resounding call for electoral integrity and the empowerment of citizens to choose their leaders. In a bold statement shared on his official X handle, the governor emphasized the importance of a democratic process that genuinely reflects the will of the people.
“So long as you don’t allow the people to choose their leaders, you can’t get leaders who are accountable to the people,” Fintiri declared, underscoring the vital connection between free, fair elections and the quality of leadership in governance.
Governor Fintiri’s remarks come at a pivotal time when conversations about democratic reforms and electoral transparency are at the forefront of national discourse. His message resonates deeply in a country where the sanctity of the ballot has often been compromised by political interference and malpractice.
By championing the right of the people to select their leaders, Fintiri advocates for a system that not only respects the electorate’s choice but also cultivates leadership that is genuinely accountable and responsive to the needs of the citizenry.
As the state gears up for future elections, Fintiri’s stance serves as a clarion call for all stakeholders to prioritize the people’s voice in the democratic process. His commitment to strengthening democracy in Adamawa State is a testament to his vision of a government that truly serves its people, fostering a leadership culture grounded in transparency, accountability, and integrity.
