Adamawa State Acting Governor Umar Fintiri on Wednesday said he has instructed his lawyers to appeal against Federal High Court judgment removing him from office.
An Abuja High Court had earlier on Wednesday asked Fintiri to vacate office as acting governor of the state.
The court noted that his swearing-in as acting governor was illegal and unconstitutional.
The court presided over by Justice Ademola Adeniyi also ordered that the former deputy governor of Adamawa state, Bala Ngilari, be sworn in as the substantive governor of the state.
Fintiri, while reacting to the judgement noted that his lawyers are studying the verdict and has instructed them to appeal against the judgement.
He noted that he has told his lawyers to apply for stay of execution of the judgment.
He urged the people of the state to remain calm as everything is under control.
