BREAKING: Appeal Court Dismisses Binani’s Appeal Against Fintiri
By Ibrahim Abubakar
The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division on Monday, dismissed an appeal filed against Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State.
The appeal was filed by the embattled APC Governorship Candidate, Sen. Aishatu Dahiru Binani and APC against Governor Fintiri, INEC and PDP.
In a unanimous decision by a 3-member panel of justices led by T. O. Awotoye PJ, the court dismissed the appeal and upheld the election of Governor Fintiri.
The appellate court held that the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal was right in thrashing the petition instituted by the defeated APC Guber Candidate.
In her appeal marked: CA/ YL/ EP/ AD/ GOV/ 18/2023, Binani had asked the appeal court to invalidate the judgement of the election tribunal which dismissed her petition in its entirety.
