The Supreme Court on Tuesday affirmed Ahmadu Fintiri as the authentic governor of Adamawa State.
The apex court dismissed an appeal by candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Jibrilla Bindo, challenging the emergence of Fintiri as the winner of the exercise for lacking in merit and failing to prove why its verdict should not stand.
Members of the court’s seven-man panel led by Justice Olabode Rhodes-Vivour were unanimous in dismissing the appeals by the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last governorship election.
Justice Dattijo Mohammed, who read the lead judgment in the appeal in relation to the Adamawa case, held that the appellants failed to prove their case.
