- APC's Bindow was the governor of Adamawa state between 2015 and 2019
- Fintiri, however, said that he was ready to step on toes in probing alleged infraction by the past government
Barely two-four hour after Supreme Court affirmed his election as the governor of Adamawa state, Ahmadu Fintiri, has revealed what he would do to the immediate past governor of the state.
Bindow was the governor of the state until he was defeated in the governorship election that held on March 9, 2019. He was roundly beaten by Fintiri, a candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Premium Times reports that Fintiri said he would soon step on toes by probing Bindow- led-All Progressives Congress government from the state to local government levels.
Legit.ng gathered that he made the vow on Wednesday, January 22, while addressing the party's supporters who thronged his office to celebrate his victory at the Supreme Court.

He stressed that there were findings which revealed that a lot of breaches and mismanagement of government’s funds needed to be looked into.
The governor said the Supreme Court’s ruling translated to success, victory, unity and development, which, according to him is what the party campaigned for.
He gave thanks to Almighty Allah for making him come out victorious at the apex court, adding that anybody who stole a dime from the covers of the state would not go unpunished.
Fintiri also added that he would soon start to recover the resources of the state that have been embezzled by the past administration.
He said though the state has been battered and bruised, he is very optimistic that his administration would soon right the wrongs.
“Adamawa state, our only home has been battered and bruised but I am optimistic that it will heal,” he said.
Earlier, the state PDP chairman, Tahir Shehu, described the judgment as “victory for all."
"The victory is not only for PDP but for all the people of Adamawa. The battle has finished and it is time to fix Adamawa and reclaim its lost glory,” he stated.
