Supreme Court dismisses Binani’s appeal, upholds Fintiri’s election as Adamawa governor

The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed the appeal filed by Aishatu Ahmed, also known as Binani, challenging the election of Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri.

Binani is the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the state governorship poll.

Delivering judgment, Justice John Okoro held that the suit lacked merit.

Mr Okoro also held that a resident electoral commissioner lacks powers to announce election results.
