THE Adamawa Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has fixed October 28, 2023, to deliver judgment on the suit challenging the election of Governor ahmadu Fintiri.
News Point Nigeria reports that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Senator Aishatu Binani Dahiru had filed a petition against the declaration of Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the winner of the March 2023 gov election.
In addition to the charges of extensive violations of the electoral law and fraudulent voting practices, APC and Binani in their petition had contended that the Tribunal should validate Hudu Yunusa Ari’s declaration announcing her as the winner of the election.
The Peoples Democratic Party and its candidate, Fintiri also filed a motion asking the tribunal to dismiss the case brought by the APC and its candidate Binani.
In June, News Point Nigeria also reported that Binani had urged the Tribunal to deliver its judgement before the suspended Resident Electoral Commissioner, Hudu Ari, is prosecuted.
Recall the Adamawa State High Court of Justice has scheduled the arraignment of Hudu, for November 6th, 2023.
Hudu faces multiple charges including announcing false electoral results, breaching his oath of neutrality, disorderly conduct during elections, inciting disturbance, and personating a public servant.
