The Court of Appeal in Abuja on Monday dismissed the petition by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its governorship candidate, Senator Aisha Dahiru Binani seeking to invalidate the election of Umar Ahmadu Fintiri as the duly elected governor of Adamawa State.
A three-member panel, chaired by Justice Tunde Awotoye, unanimously held that Governor Fintiri of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was lawfully declared the winner of the poll by the Adamawa State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal.
Justice Tunde Oyebanji Awotoye , in his judgment, said that the brief of argument filed by Binani and APC lacks merit, is hence incompetent, and deserved to be thrown out.
