Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has vowed that his administration will probe past corrupt public office holders who have siphoned public funds that meant for the development of the state.
He made this known while addressing a mammoth crowed of supporters during a victory mega rally at Mahumud Ribadu Square, Yola following the Supreme Court verdict on Tuesday that affirmed his election.
The Governor explained that corrupt practices perpetrated in the previous administrations have crippled especially local government administrations in the state and the entire system of governance.
He added that the present administration has zero tolerance to corrupt and as such no any corrupt government official will be spared in order to restore sanity in governance and to serve as deterrent to others.
