The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja, has affirmed the re-election of Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri after striking out the appeal of Aishatu Binani of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for lacking merit.
In the judgment prepared by Justice Tunde Awotoye and read by Justice Ebiowei Tobi on Monday, the Appeal Court also awarded the cost of N500,000 in favour of Fintiri and the PDP against Binani.
It also frowned at the illegal pronouncement of the election outcome by the wanted Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) Hudu Ari, adding that Binani’s appeal was completely out of place.
