The Adamawa Advocates for Women Inclusion (AAWI) has called on the Adamawa State Government and relevant authorities to uphold the law by swearing in Mrs. Peace Samson Audu as the new Chairperson of Fufore Local Government.
The group in a Press Release also called on Civil society and the media to remain vigilant and amplify calls for justice and inclusion.
It urged all political actors to refrain from actions that undermine democratic institutions and marginalize women in governance.
The group extend its condolences to the family of the late Chairman and the people of Fufore.
The statement reads in part:”in this moment of transition, we must uphold the constitution and democratic values that guarantee seamless governance and equity.

“The Adamawa State Local Government Law and relevant provisions of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) are clear: in the event of the death or incapacitation of a local government chairman, the vice chairperson is to be sworn in to assume office in an acting or substantive capacity. There is no ambiguity in this provision”.
