Recall that Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed Binani of the All Progressives Congress (APC) filed an appeal after the governorship election on March 18, 2023, and the Supreme Court of Nigeria reserved a decision in that case.
The case was delayed for a decision on Monday by a five-member panel chaired by John Okoro following the parties’ arguments.
Akin Olujimi, Binani’s attorney, had maintained that it was legal for Hudu Yunusa-Ari, the Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), to declare that Binani had won the 2023 governorship race.
Nevertheless, the bench of three judges rejected the appeal that was submitted.
