Anwar, Yola Hits: 3204 Bala Ngilari, Newly sworn-in Adamawa State Governor The newly sworn-in governor of Adamawa state on Thursday moved to reconcile with members of the state house of assembly known to be loyal to ousted acting governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri. A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Wednesday sacked acting Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri and ordered the Chief Judge of the state to swear-in Mr. Ngilari as the state governor.
