Senator Aishatu Binani
The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed the appeal filed by Aishatu Ahmed Binani of the All Progressives Congress (APC), challenging the election of Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa.
Delivering judgement, Justice John Okoro held that the suit was lacking in merit.
Okoro also held that a resident electoral commissioner lacks powers to announce election results.
Justice Okoro declared that the Electoral Act empower the Returning Officer to announce the results of an election, stating that any other person who assumes such role did it illegally.
The apex court justices also held that Binani and APC failed to provide credible evidence of non-compliance with the Electoral Law in the conduct of the election and that she won the election.
