The Appeal Court sitting in Abuja will, today, deliver judgment on the controversial governorship election between the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Aishatu Binnani, and her Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart, Ahmadu Fintiri.
The APC candidate lost at the tribunal in a ruling delivered in Yola the Adamawa state capital in October 2023. Delivering the judgment that lasted six hours 48 minutes, head of the tribunal, Justice Theodora Obi Uloho, struck out the application lodged by the APC candidate on the premise that the petition lacked legal ingredients to upturn Fintiri’s victory
Meanwhile, a judgment delivery notice confirmed to have been served on Binani and Fintiri’s legal teams indicated that the Court of Appeal would deliver the judgment by 12 noon.
The notice advised lawyers to the two political camps to take cognizance of the notice and make themselves available for the judgment delivery as required by law.
Bukola Gaa, Personal Assistant on Media to the President of the Court of Appeal confirmed the decision of the appellate court, adding that necessary security arrangements and other measures to make the judgment delivery hitch-free have been taken.
