Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the election of Ahmadu Fintiri of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as Adamawa Governor.

In a judgment delivered by a five-member panel, the apex court unanimously dismissed the appeal filed by Aishatu Ahmed Dahiru, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the March 18, 2023 governorship election in the state.

Justice John Okoro, who delivered the lead judgment held that the declaration of Dahiru winner of the election by the state’s Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) was unlawful and a nullity.

Justice Okoro further held that it was the Returning Officer of any election that is empowered by the Electoral Act to announce the results of an election and that any other person, who assumes that roles, acts illegally .

He also held that the appellants (Dahiru and the APC) failed to provide credible evidence to show that their claim of non-compliance with the relevant laws and that she won the election with majority of lawful votes cast during the election. (vitalnewsngr.com)
